The annual Brahmotsavams were conducted in the temple from February 17 to 25. As per sacred tradition, Pushpayagam is performed after the completion of Brahmotsavams to seek divine forgiveness for any known or unknown lapses that might have occurred during the daily rituals and festival celebrations by priests, staff, officials, or devotees.
On this occasion, Vedic rituals were performed in the Yagasala from 5.00 a.m. to 6.30 a.m. by learned priests. Later, from 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m., Snapana Tirumanjanam was conducted to the processional deities of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy along with Sridevi and Bhudevi. The deities were ceremoniously bathed with milk, curd, honey, coconut water, turmeric, and sandal paste, and were beautifully adorned.
The Pushpayagam was held from 3.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. in a grand and spiritually uplifting manner. 12 varieties of flowers and 6 types of sacred leaves were offered to the Lord. Flowers such as chrysanthemum, rose, oleander, champak, jasmine, kanakambaram, lotus, and other fragrant blooms were used. Sacred leaves, including tulasi, davanam, maruvam, bilva, and panneer leaves, were also offered. Nearly two tonnes of flowers were generously donated by devotees, with special flower offerings brought from Bengaluru.
TTD LAC Chairman A.V. Reddy, AEO Ramesh, temple priests, Temple Inspector Sri Niranjan Kumar, Sri Hari, other officials, and a large number of devotees participated in the sacred event.
