The Thiruman kaapu on Lord Venkateshwara's forehead

From the Bhakti List Archives

Jai Simman s/o R. Rangasamy • June 22, 2000 


Hare Krishna dear Vaishnavas.

Pleaser accept my dandavat pranams.

Since the isseu of Thiruman has come up, I was wondering why the Lord at
Thirupathi has a thiruman kaapu on his forehead that extends all the way to
His divine lotus eyes. This appears to be very unique. Why are His eyes
covered with the Thiruman as well ? His lotus eyes ought to be glancing at
the
devotees without any inhibition and yet the alankaram always covers the
eyes.

Is there any particular pastime involved in this regard ?
