‘Dwajarohanam’ was performed at the temple of Lord Venkateswara on September 18 signalling the commencement of the nine-day annual Salakatla Brahmotsavams.
The ‘Dwajapatam’ — a sacred yellow cloth bearing the imprint of Garuda — the celestial carrier of Lord Maha Vishnu was ceremoniously hoisted atop the ‘Dwajasthabam’ (flag post) inside the hill temple amid chanting of Vedic hymns by a battery of Sri Vaishnavite scholars to the beat of temple drums at the designated Meena lagnam between 6.15 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.
