Highlights of the Festival: One of the most anticipated events is the Garuda Vahana Seva on September 28, where Lord Venkateswara graces the Garuda Vahana, symbolizing protection and auspiciousness. Another spiritual highlight is the Chakra Snanam on October 2, where devotees take a holy dip in the sacred waters of Pushkarini, believing it to cleanse their sins.

This divine celebration combines spiritual fervor, vibrant cultural traditions, and breathtaking rituals, making it a must-attend event for devotees and cultural enthusiasts alike.
