Varalakshmi Vratham in Machilipatnam
In the Telugu states it is the most important vratham of Shravana masam; the nine-knot thoram is tied and the Charumathi katha is read in Telugu.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
