TIRUPATI, MAY 31, 2026: The grand annual Brahmotsavam of Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple, Tirupati, reached its auspicious culmination with the sacred Chakrasnanam ritual, performed amidst deep devotion and religious fervour at Kapila Theertham on Sunday.
In this concluding ceremony, the holy Sudarshana Chakra — the divine discus of Lord Vishnu — was ceremonially bathed (snanam) by the temple priests (archakas) adorned with traditional Vaishnava namams. The sacred idol, beautifully decorated with tulasi garlands and floral arrangements, was held reverentially as priests performed the ritual ablutions, with the surroundings richly carpeted in pink and white rose petals, symbolising purity and divine grace.
Devotees and temple staff gathered in large numbers to witness this spiritually significant event, offering prayers with folded hands as the Chakra received ceremonial honours in keeping with Pancharatra Agama traditions.
The Chakrasnanam marks the formal and sacred conclusion of the Brahmotsavam, believed to bestow divine blessings upon all who witness it.
