On this auspicious full moon day, Sri Malayappa Swamy, the processional Deity of Lord Venkateswara, will ride the majestic Garuda Vahanam — the celestial eagle vehicle — in a grand procession along the four mada streets surrounding the temple. The event will take place between 7 PM and 9 PM, offering devotees a rare opportunity to witness the Lord in all his glory under the moonlit sky.
The Garuda Seva is considered one of the most spiritually significant events in Tirumala, symbolizing protection, divine grace, and the destruction of evil. Devotees believe that witnessing the Lord on Garuda Vahanam brings immense blessings and spiritual upliftment.
Traffic and Crowd Management
With thousands expected to attend, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has made elaborate arrangements for crowd control, security, and smooth conduct of the event. Special queues, barricades, and volunteer support will be in place to ensure a safe and devotional experience for pilgrims.
Spiritual Significance
Garuda, the king of birds and the vehicle of Lord Vishnu, is revered for his speed, strength, and unwavering devotion. The Pournami Garuda Seva is a symbolic representation of the Lord’s cosmic journey to bless his devotees and protect dharma.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
This monthly ritual is not just a religious event but a visual and spiritual celebration of devotion. The grandeur of the procession, the chants of devotees, and the divine aura of Tirumala during Pournami make it a must-attend for pilgrims and spiritual seekers.
