The
Brahmotsavam or annual festival is celebrated on Tirumala for nine
days when the sun enters Kanya Rasi from Aswayuja Shuddha Padyami
to. Aswayuja Shuddha Dasami during September/October. |
This Utsavam is said to have been first celebrated
by Brahma Himself; hence the name. Every
morning and evening Utsavamurtis are taken round the Temple on different
Vahanams decorated in varied raiments, glittering ornaments etc. The important
festivals are the Garudotsavam on the fifth day and the Rathotsavam or Car
Festival on the eighth day. Arjithabrahmotsavam can be celebrated by devotees
upon payment on days other than the days of the Brahmotsavam. In fact, no
Arjitha Sevas are performed during Brahmotsavam.
