‘Garuda Seva’ is on October 1 and ‘Rathotsavam’ on October 4
The annual Brahmotsavams of Lord Venkateswara this year will be organised in all its grandeur and magnificence from September 27 to October 5.
The two-time daily procession of the deity on various ‘vahanams’, which forms the core part of the nine-day religious carnival, will be a highlight, and devotees will be allowed to congregate along the ‘mada’ streets encircling the temple to witness the proceedings.
A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level meeting with the heads of various departments presided over by TTD Executive officer A.V. Dharma Reddy here on Friday.
Briefing the media later, Mr. Dharma Reddy said elaborate arrangements were made for the grand conduct of the festival to be celebrated in the open after a gap of two years.
The previous years saw the festival being confined to the inner portals of the temple complex owing to the pandemic.
He said the grand spectacle would take off with ‘Dwajarohanam’ on September 27 and conclude with ‘Chakrasnanam’ on October 5.
