The Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala is all set to celebrate two Brahmotsavams this year. The first one is Salakatla Brahmotsvams which is scheduled to be celebrated in September while the other is in October.
Briefing the media after a meeting with the officials of the engineering, vigilance and security, police, kalyana katta and the staff of garden, annadanam, medical, health and temple, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy on July 31 (Monday) attributed the reason for two Brahmotsavams to the ‘Adhikamasam’ which occurs once in three years.
Detailing the major events of the two Brahmotsavams, he said the Salakatla Brahmotsavams will begin with the ‘Dhwajarohanam‘ rituals on September 18. The other rituals include Garuda Seva (September 22), procession of golden chariot (September 23), Rathotsavam (September 25) and Chakrasnanam and Dhwajavarohanam, marking the conclusion of the festival (September 26).
