Religious fervour marked the sixth day of annual brahmotsavams as the processional deity of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy was taken in a procession around the four mada streets, while riding the Hanumantha Vahanam, here on Sunday.
Lord Hanuman, considered as one of the foremost devotees of Lord Vishnu during the Rama Avatar, is hailed as an exponent of the four Vedas, Navavyakarana pundit and the destroyer of Lanka. He is also considered as an embodiment of wisdom, success, bravery, health, fearlessness, strength and common sense.
One of the hillocks of Tirumala Hill range is also named after Lord Hanuman – Anjanadri and he is known as Vayu Putra of Anjana, born out of power of 'tapas'. As an ardent devotee, Hanuman carried Lord Sri Rama on his shoulders and it is said that the secrets of Atma Tatva were taught to the former, a loyal disciple.
After performing Vasantotsavam to the deity of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy at Srivari Kalyana Mandapam, Gaja Vahana seva was accorded to the processional deity, later in the evening.
Meanwhile, Lord Kapileswara Swamy along with Goddess Parvathi were taken out in a procession on the Puli Vahanam, on the sixth day of annual brahmotsavams at Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple.
