Sri Venkateswara Swami vari Brahmotsavam or Srivari Brahmotsavam or Purattasi Brahmotsavam[1] is the most significant[2] annual fête celebrated at the Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala-Tirupati, Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, India.[3] which falls between the Telugu calendar of Aasveeyujamu and the Gregorian calendar months of September or October.[4]
The Utsava-murti (processional deity) of the presiding deity, Venkateswara, and his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi are taken on a procession on several vahanams on the streets surrounding the temple. The celebration attracts pilgrims and tourists from all over India and around the world. A Brahmotsavam is a cleansing ceremony in honor of Lord Brahma, and the ceremony at Tirumala is the largest.[5]
