The Chief Minister and his entourage paid their respects at various sacred sites within the temple complex, including Vakulamatha, Vimana Venkateswaraswamy, and Bhashyakarla Sannidhi, concluding their visit at Yoga Narasimhaswamy. Following the temple rituals, Vedic scholars performed blessings through the chanting of Vedic mantras in the Ranganayakula Mandapam.

The EO also presented the teerthaprasadas of Srivari to the CM, further solidifying the spiritual significance of the event.
