The nine-day annual
Brahmotsavam of Sri Govindaraja Swamy temple came to a grand close with the
auspicious 'Chakrasnanam' performed by temple priests in the holy waters of
Kapila Theeertham tank, during the early hours of Tuesday.
Amid
Vedic chants and recitals of verses from scriptures, the priests immersed the
holy discus in the temple tank (Pushkarni), after a long lasting ritual.
Chanting the ‘Govinda Namam’, hundreds of devotees took a dip in the holy
waters of the tank with religious fervour. It is believed that a dip in the
temple tank during ‘Chakrasnanam’ would wash away the sins of people taking
part in the religious fête.
‘Dhwaja Avarohanam’
Later
in the evening, priests performed the ‘Dhwaja Avarohanam’ signalling the
conclusion of the Brahmotsavams. The flag which is hoisted on the first day of
the fete is unfurled during the ritual. Pontiffs of Tirumala Tirupati
Devasthanams (TTD) Pedda Jeeyar Swamy and Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, local temples
Deputy Executive Officer S. Chandrasekhar Pillai, AEO Moorthy Raju and scores
of devotees took part in the event.
