The Annual Float Festival (Teppotsavam) at Tirumala is performed in the Telugu month of Phalguna for five days. It begins on the day of Ekadashi and concludes with Pournima Day. The deities are taken around in specially decorated floats in the sacred waters of Swami Pushkarini.
- On the first (Ekadashi) day, the float carries the idols of Lord Sri Rama, Maa Sita along with Lord Lakshmana and Lord Hanuman.
- On the second (Dwadasi) day, the silver idols of Lord Krishna and Maa Rukmini are brought for a celestial ride.
- On the remaining three (Trayodasi, Chaturdasi & Pournima) days Lord Malayappa Swami with His Consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi is taken out for the glittering float festival.
On all five days, the float is decorated elegantly with flowers and colourful lights. Vedic hymns are chanted and Annamacharya Keerthanas are sung during these days. Devotees who see the Lord riding upon the divine float feel they are blessed.
