RADHA SAPTHAMI IN TIRUMALA ON FEB 14

Tirumala, 13 January 2016: Rathasapthami, popularly known as Surya Jayanthi will be observed in Tirumala Temple on February 14 this year. On this holy day, Lord takes ride on seven celestial vahanams and hence it is also called “One day Brahmotsavam” or “Arsha Brahmotsavam”.

On Rathasapthami day, One day Brahmotsavam begins with Suryaprabha Vahanam and concludes with Chandraprabha Vahanam. It is a rare glimpse for the devotees to witness all the seven vahanams on a single day in Tirumala on this auspicious occasion.

TTD has cancelled all arjitha sevas in connection with this festival on that day.
