TIRUPATI TO WEAR DIVINE LOOK FOR SRIVARI BRAHMOTSAVAMS - TTD JEO DR. A SHARATH


TTD JEO Dr. A. Sharath directed officials to make Tirupati city reflect the spiritual grandeur of Lord Venkateswara’s annual Brahmotsavams, scheduled from September 15 to 23.


On Thursday, the JEO inspected the arrangements along the route from Renigunta Airport to Garuda Circle, along with TTD officials, and issued several instructions.


He said a large number of devotees from across the country are expected to visit Tirupati for the Brahmotsavams. The city should therefore welcome every devotee with a strong sense of devotion and the divine grandeur of Srivari Brahmotsavams.

He directed officials to give a spiritual look to the main roads, junctions and entry points connecting Tirupati from all directions, particularly the route from Renigunta Airport.


The JEO instructed officials to make this year’s decorations more attractive and creative, with illuminations, hoardings, flex banners and floral decorations, based on the experience of previous Brahmotsavams.


He stressed that the decorations should beautifully reflect devotion, tradition and the grandeur of Srivari Brahmotsavams.


Dr. Sharath also directed officials to give the Garuda statue at Garuda Circle a grand new look with special illumination so that it becomes a major attraction for devotees and visitors.


He said Tirupati should present a festive and spiritual atmosphere that reflects the grandeur of the celebrations in Tirumala, enabling devotees to experience the divine spirit of the Brahmotsavams even in the city.


As lakhs of devotees are expected to attend the Brahmotsavams, the entire city should glow with devotional decorations, floral beauty and the chanting of Lord Venkateswara’s name, he said.


CE Sri Manoharam, SE Sri Venkateswarlu, Additional Health Officer Dr. Sunil, VGO Sri Giridhar, EEs Sri Ravishankar Reddy and Smt. Saraswathi, among others, participated in the inspection.
