Sri Venkateswara Swamy Devasthanam (Chinna Tirupati), Dwaraka, has geared up for the annual Brahmotsavams. The eight-day Vaisakha Maasa Brahmotsavams will be organised from Saturday, May 18.
An interesting feature of Brahmotsavams is that the presiding deity is decorated in different forms of Lord Vishnu during the festivities. The ‘Tiru Kalyanam’ ritual performed during the festivities is another major attraction of the Brahmotsavams.
The celebrations will begin on Saturday with Lord Venkateswara Swamy adorned as the bridegroom and His consort, Ammavaru, adorned as the bride. The processional deities would be taken out in procession in the town on various types of ‘vahanas’, the celestial vehicles, as part of the ‘Gramotsavam’, the village festival.
