Twin Brahmotsavams to Bless Devotees
The devotees will experience a Double Dhamaka this year with Tirumala gearing up to host Two Brahmotsavams this year due to the Adhika Masa effect.
Importance :
Adhika Masa happens to be a rare occurrence where in an extra lunar month added to the Hindu calendar roughly once in every three years to sync the lunar and solar calendars.
Series of events:
Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam will be observed on September 08, while Ankuraarpanam is scheduled for September 14.
The annual Salakatla Brahmotsavams will be held from September 15-23, followed by the Navaratri Brahmotsavams from October 12 to 20 with Ankurarpanam on 11.
According to the schedule, the morning vahana sevas will be conducted from 8 am to 10am, the night vahana sevas from 7 pm to 9pm, while Garuda Vahana Seva from 6:30 pm to midnight.
Tradition holds that Brahmotsavams began when Sri Srinivasa invited creator Sri Brahma to conduct festivals for the welfare of the world, and the nine-day celebration has continued ever since.
In an Adhika Maasa year, the temple observes two sets of Brahmotsavams, with the Navaratri series differing mainly in the absence of Dhvajarohanam and Dhvajavarohanam.
