TIRUMALA TIRUPATI DEVASTHANAMS

Day 7- SURYAPRABHA VAHANAM

Tirumala, 2 October 2014:  The procession of Lord Venkateswara on the seventh day of Srivari Salakatla Brahmotsavam atop the Suryaprabha Vahanam was an enthralling experience to all the devotees. The Tirumala deity rides atop a vehicle adorned by Surya, the sun god, who was the key architect of life of humans, animals and plants.

All devout offer prayers to Sun god every morning and the chanting of Gayatri Mantram triggers a divine energy among all. Surya rides the chariot driven by seven celestial horses. He spread light and health in the world and also removed away darkness which symbolized poverty, illiteracy and ignorance.

The Chariot of Surya Prabha of Lord Venkateswara is specially designed and flower arrangement is done by a special 20 member team of florists from Coimbatore. “The entire  Surya Prabha  design is made of  jasmine  flowers and laced with red and orange colored  Kanakambara or  Roses “ says  S. Srinivasulu, Temple official in charge of Gardens Department.

It is common belief the darshan of Surya Prabha Vahanam provided long life to all devotees and also relieved of all illness. On this occasion the people from all corners of the district bring their aged and sick parents to cure them with the sight of the Surya Prabha Vahanam procession.
