Importance of the event
|
|
Avabrutha / Chakra Snanam
In the morning of Vijaya Dashami, Avabrutha / Chakra Snanam is celebrated for Lord Venkateswara in the Pushkarni. After choornika utsavam (exfoliation with turmeric and sesame oil), abhishekam is performed to Utsava vigrahas in the Snapana mandapam in the middle of the Pushkarni. At that very moment, all the Devatas and Gods invited to the Brahmotsavam also take a dip in the Pushkarni. All the devotees who immerse themselves at the same moment in the Pushkarni will be rid of their past sins and will gain good health and abundant blessings of Sri Venkateswara.
Aswa Vahana Seva
On the tenth and final evening, the Lord is taken out around the temple in a procession on the Aswa (Horse) vahana. Aswa symbolizes the forthcoming Kalki avatar. Lord assumed the form of a horse head during the avatar as Hayagreeva.
Ubhayam
The Yajamani's (Seva sponsor) name will be read during Sankalpa for all the sevas performed during that particular day. He/She and his/her family are the Yajamani's (owners) for the whole day sevas that include Homam, Procession, Prasadam and Flowers. All the festivities are conducted in the same way as it has been conducted in Tirumala from a long time.
