Srivari Brahmotsavam is the most significant festival
celebrated annually at Tirumala Tirupathi Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati
city of Andhra Pradesh. It is a nine days festival commended in the month of
September/October. This festival is followed by Hindus and is one of the most
magnificent festivals celebrated at Tirumala which is admired by many
connoisseurs, sightseers, and explorers from distant locations around the
world. People from around India and abroad place advance online booking for Tirumala darshan during this festival.
It is said that Lord Brahma initially performed this
celebration of Lord Tirupati Balaji to be grateful to the lord and has been
assimilated since then as an aged occasion. All the nine days every morning and
evening the diety of Lord Venkateswara is taken in a colorful cortege through
the embellished four-mada streets around the shrine. The entire route is
surrounded by pilgrims soaked in devotional bliss to get a glimpse of the
deity. The whole ambiance is echoing with the sound of ‘’Govinda Govinda’’. The
Diety is taken in cortege on various vahanas each of which has its own way.
The festival begins with Dwajaarohanam i.e flag-hosting with
a picture of Garuda (vehicle of Lord Vishnu) on the top of the Dwajah Sthambham
in front of the sanctum sanctorum. This day symbolizes the invitation to all
the aficionados to attend the Brahmostsavam festival. The festival pulls a lot
of crowd at Tirumala, thus; to avoid any kind of difficulty in arranging stay

On the night of 5th day, Garuda Seva is performed which
alone pulls a crowd of over 1.5 lakhs from all around. On this occasion, the
priests would adorn the almighty with the most precious of his ornaments like “
Lakshmiharam”, “MakaraKranti”. The festival is concluded on the 9th day, in the
morning special abhishekam is held “Snapanam Tirumanjanam”, the process of
bathing the Lord with herbal water after the procession. In the evening the
Garuda flag will be lowered as a mark of concluding the Brahmostsavam.
