Sea of humanity at Tirumala for Garuda Seva

 

More than one and a half lakh devotees witnessed the ``Garuda Seva'' on

the fifth day of the ``Brahmotsavam'' at the Tirumala Hills on Tuesday.

The processional deity of Lord Venkateswara, on the ``Garuda'' vahanam

was adorned with precious jewels. In line with tradition, the Andhra

Pradesh Endowments Minister, Mr. Simhadri Satyanarayana, offered a pair

of silk ``vastrams'' to the Lord on behalf of the State Government. The

``sacred garland'' of Goddess Andal(Goda Devi) of Srivilliputtur in

Tamil Nadu also reached Tirumala.

 

Also after years of problems, the British Queen and her consort are

being rewarded with a trip to Kancheepuram and SriPerumbudur, though she

will not be getting a darshan of Sriman Narayana.
