About Vontimitta Kodanda Rama Brahmotsavam
Vontimitta Kodanda Rama Brahmotsavam is the annual festival at the historic Kodanda Rama Temple in Vontimitta, Kadapa district — a shrine associated with saint-poet Annamacharya.
Purpose
Kodanda Rama (Rama with bow) brahmotsavam celebrates Rama's dharma and kingship. Kalyanotsavam re-enacts divine marriage; Annamacharya's compositions connect music and devotion — brahmotsavam preserves this Bhakti legacy.
The Vontimitta Kodanda Rama Temple is one of Andhra Pradesh's ancient Rama shrines. Annamacharya composed many keertanas in praise of this deity. The brahmotsavam includes Rama kalyanam and rathotsavam.
Kadapa families book Rama puja and kalyanotsavam at home during brahmotsavam season through Divine Center.
