On Thursday morning the Brahmotsavam entered the 7th day. The Sun God (Surya Prabha Vahanam) was the carrier of the processional deity of Lord Venkateswara on the seventh day of the ongoing Brahmotsavams. According to mythology, the Sun God is benevolent to the people, who pray to Him (by performing “Surya Namaskaram”).
The devotees, who participated in the procession offered prayers to both the processional idol of Lord Malayappa Swamy and the Sun God. Similarly, the devotees also offered “aarthi” to both.
Lord Malayappa Swamy (Venkateswara) clad in a maroon-coloured dress and bedecked with jewels and golden Surya Prabha looked resplendent and the overall look of the “vahanam” was eye-pleasing. The devotees were so moved by the sight of it that they loudly chanted “Govinda Namasmarana”.
The procession was a visual treat to those gathered to witness it.
The Chariot of Surya Prabha of Lord Malayappa Swamy was specially designed and the flower arrangement on it was done by a special 20-member team of florists from Coimbatore.
