Marriage is one of the most sacred milestones in Hindu tradition. To bless newly married couples as they begin their life journey together, Sri Venkateswara Swamy of Tirumala offers divine blessings known as Srivari Akshintalu.
This special initiative by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) allows newlyweds to receive sacred prasadam and blessings directly from Tirumala, even if they are unable to visit the temple immediately after marriage.
What Are Srivari Akshintalu?
Srivari Akshintalu are sacred rice grains (talambralu) blessed by Lord Venkateswara. These are sent to newly married couples as part of the Srivari Aseervadam program.
The blessings symbolize:

Lakhs of couples across India receive these blessings every year.
