On the final day, Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, accompanied by Sridevi and Bhudevi, was taken in a grand Garuda Vahanam procession through the temple streets, blessing devotees.
The day's rituals began with Suprabhatam, followed by Thomala Seva, Koluvu, Panchanga Sravanam and Sahasranamarchana.
Later, Snapana Tirumanjanam was performed to the processional deities in the Kalyana Mandapam from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. with milk, curd, honey, turmeric, sandalwood paste and tender coconut water. A large number of devotees participated in the sacred rituals.
The Unjal Seva was held in the evening, followed by the Garuda Vahanam procession at 7 p.m., which drew a large gathering of devotees and marked the grand conclusion of the annual festival.
Paruveta Utsavam on July 20

Two private artists engaged by the Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishad (HDPP), TTD, for a Harikatha programme at the TTD temple in Satravada on Sunday morning, Sri K. Chakravarthi (Violin) and Sri K. Nagaraju Chetty (Tabla), were killed in a tragic road accident near Vadamalapeta–Pudi Cross while travelling to perform their assigned devotional service.
Expressing deep concern over the incident, which occurred while the artists were on duty, TTD Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu, Executive Officer Sri Muddada Ravichandra, and Joint Executive Officer Dr. A. Sharath approved immediate humanitarian assistance to the bereaved families.
Accordingly, Rs. 25,000 has been provided to each family from HDPP funds towards funeral expenses. In addition, Rs. 5 lakh ex gratia has been sanctioned to each bereaved family.
TTD has also decided to provide free education up to the degree level in TTD educational institutions for the children of the deceased artists, if eligible.
These humanitarian measures will be placed before the TTD Board for ratification.

Ensuring hassle-free allotment of accommodation without inconvenience, TTD has streamlined room allotment system through its Sub-Enquiry Offices.
This system replaces the earlier practice of pilgrims waiting for long hours at the Central Reception Office (CRO), making the process faster and more convenient.
Pilgrims should first register at the Central Reception Office (CRO) in Tirumala. The CRO opens daily at 5.00 a.m., and registrations are being accepted as long as rooms are available.
Pilgrims must submit their original Aadhaar Card or a photocopy, along with their mobile number, at the registration counter.
Registration is completed through the Face Recognition System.
Pilgrims may choose their preferred room category at the counter.
Category A: Rs.50 & Rs.100 rooms
Category B: Rs.1,000 rooms
After registration, an acknowledgement slip will be issued. Drinking water, Annaprasadam and toilet facilities are available near the allotment queue lines for the convenience of pilgrims.
Guidelines for Room Allotment
• Applicant must be 21 years or above.
• A person who has been allotted a room cannot get another room for the next 30 days.
• Only one member from each family should stand in the queue.
• Rooms will not be allotted to a single individual or unmarried persons.
After registration, the registration number will be displayed at the display boards in CRO. Once the number appears, pilgrims will receive an SMS within 15 minutes with the allotted room details.
If the SMS is not received despite the registration number appearing on the display board, pilgrims can scan their acknowledgement slip at the Kiosk Machines installed at the CRO to view the room details.
Pilgrims should then visit the respective Sub-Enquiry Office and pay the room tariff only through online payment modes such as PhonePe, Google Pay, UPI, Credit Card or Debit Card. Room keys will be issued after successful payment.
