Lord Govindaraja Swamy took a celestial ride on the dazzling ‘Surya Prabha Vahanam’ on the seventh day of the ongoing annual ‘brahmotsavams' here on Sunday.
The delightful procession taken around the four mada streets of the temple was followed by cultural programmes such as ‘kolattam’, ‘chekka bhajanas’, vedic chants and drum beats by Kerala based artistes.
Among all the vehicle processions during the nine-day religious fête, ‘Surya Prabha Vahanam’ holds a special place as the Sun God is worshiped along with the deity. He is also known as the form of Lord Narayana – Trayimaya, for representing the three Vedas and controls the affairs of the universe.
Later in the evening, after performing rituals such as ‘Snapana Tirumanjanam’ (celestial bath) and ‘Unjal Seva’, the deity was taken on the splendid ‘Chandra Prabha Vahanam.’
Tirumala Mutt’s Sri Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamy and Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, local temples Deputy EO Chandrasekhar Pillai, executive engineer Jagadeeswara Reddy, VGO Raveendra Reddy and a large number of devotees took part in the event.
