Importance of Swamy Pushkarini - Tirumala

There is a Koneru near Adivaraha Swamy Temple in Tirumala Kshethra.
This is known as Sri Swamy Pushkarini.
Being a supreme ‘Koneru’ among the ‘konerus’ of the world it is called ‘Sri Swamy Pushkarini’.
According to Varaha Purana, Three things are very difficult to achieve or perform. Taking bath in Swamy Pushkarini (tank), serving the Lotus Feet of a ‘Sath (good) Guru’, and observing Ekadasi Vratam.
After coming down to Tirumala Kshethra from His Eternal Abode Vaikuntam, Varahaswamy (Lord Vishnu) ordered His Vahana Garuda to get a holy tank from Vaikuntam.
As per the orders, Garuda brought this Pushkarini Kreedadri mountain with (Kreedadri Sarovaram) from Vaikuntam and firmly installed it in Tirumala.
This Pushkarini is holier than the holiest Pushkarinis of this world. One dip is enough to liberate human beings from sin or sins.
People might have committed some sins either knowingly or unknowingly. They all get washed away. It washes all our misdeeds. It gives happiness in this world as well as in the world above.
The Koneru has spread over an area of 1.50 acres. In the year1468 Saluva Narasimha Rayalu constructed ‘Neeraali Mandapam’ at the mid point of Koneru.
In the 15th century, the Thallapaka family people renovated the Neeraali Mandapam and also constructed steps to approach the tank’s water.
T.T.D. has fixed water filters to purify the water. Once a year they flush out old water and fill the tank with fresh water.
TTD has now the facility to induct oxygen into the tank water
It is said on Dwadasi day after Vaikunta Ekadasi, that at the time of dawn all the holy waters from all the holy rivers join the waters of Pushkarini. That is why it becomes “ Sri Swamy Pushkarinee Theertham Mukkoti”.
Those who take a dip on that day will be liberated from all their sins. On the last day of Brahmothsavam, on Rathasapthami day, Sri Sudarsana Chakra Alwar will be given a holy bath in this pushkarini. At that time even devotees take a dip in Pushkarini.
Every year for five days in the month of Phalguna, Theppa utsavam i.e., a float festival will be organized. It gets concluded on Pournami day. The idols of God are placed on a float and rowed over the Pushkarini. This float festival will be organized for Seetha Rama Lakshmanas, Sri Rukmini Sri Krishna, Sri Bhoodevi, and Sri Devi Sametha Venkateswara Swamy.

It is said issueless Dasaratha the king of Ayodhya came to Tirumala and had a dip in Sri Swamy’s Pushkarini. After having a dip in the Pushkarini he appealed to Lord Srinivasa to bless him with progeny. Lord heard his prayers and blessed him. Because of His blessings, only Lord Vishnu took the form of Rama and became his son.

As Per our Puranas Kumara Swamy, the blessed son of Shiva and Parvathi killed Tarakasura the Rakshasa. But Tarakasura was a Brahmin by birth. To get rid of the sin i.e., Brahma Hatya Patakam, Kumara Swamy had a dip in this Swamy Pushkarini. He was once and for all released from that sin of killing a Brahmin.

Annamaiah has eulogized the greatness of this Pushkarini in glorious terms. He addressed the tank as Loka Paavani. He says the steps that lead to the tank are the four Purusharthas i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
