Importance of the event 

Sesha Vahana Seva

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.
Gayatri Alankaram
During the evening, Parvathi devi will be dressed as Gayatri Devi. Gayatri is the personified form of popular Gayatri Mantra, a hymn from Vedic texts. She is also known as Savitri and Vedamata (mother of vedas). Gayatri is often associated with Savitri, a solar deity in the vedas. Gayatri is the consort of Lord Brahma in Puranic concepts. Gayatri devi is the consort of Shiva, in his highest form of Sadasiva with five heads and ten hands.
