The interest behind the marriage of Lord Sri Venkateswara (also called Lord Srinivasa) with Goddess Padmavathi is described with pictures. The rishis headed by Kasyapa started to play out a forfeit on the banks of the Ganges. Sage Narada went by them and asked them for what reason they were playing out the forfeit and who might be satisfied by it. Not having the capacity to answer the question, the rishis moved toward Sage Bhrigu.To achieve an answer after an immediate ascertainment of the real world.

                     


Bhrigu first went to Satyaloka, the adobe of Lord Brahma. At Satyloka, he found Lord Brahma, reciting the four Vedas in praise of Lord Narayana, with each of his four heads, and attended upon by Saraswati. Lord Brahma did not take notice of Bhrigu offering obeisance. Concluding that Lord Brahma was unfit for worship, Bhrigu left Satyaloka for Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva
After the flight of the spiritualist, Vakuladevi touched base at the castle and was taken by the maidservants to the Queen. She educated the Queen that she had gone ahead and benefitted Lord Srinivasa to ask for the hand of Padmavati in marriage. Having counselled Brihaspati and got notification from his Queen about the forecast of the crystal gazer and the landing of the errand person from Srinivasa, Akasa Raja chose to hand his little girl in marriage to Srinivasa.
