There is one ceremony or the other almost daily for Lord Venkateswara manifest on Tirumala.
Different ceremonies are conducted on a grand scale for the Lord with different time frames— daily, fortnightly, monthly, and yearly. Of them, special mention may be made of annual Brahmotsavas.
Devotees go on raptures witnessing the Lord on different carriages and earnestly wait for the earliest opportunity to visit them. Brahmotsavas are conducted twice this year much to their jubilation.
Because of the addition of one month as per the Telugu Calendar, two categories of Brahmotsavas are conducted this year, namely—Salakatla and Navaratri (nine-day).
Hanumantha Vahanam – Lord of Ananda Nilaya on Anjaneya
The Lord singly goes on a procession on a Hanuman carriage (Hanumantha Vahana Seva) on the sixth day of Brahmostsavas).
Venkatadri Rama appears as Lord Sri Rama of Tretayuga. In the auspicious waking up ceremony every morning, the Lord is addressed as Rama, the son of Kousalya, in the shloka, “Kousalya supraja rama poorvaa sandhya pravartate.” Hanuman is a symbol of servitude as devotion.
The Lord has made Hanuman who served Him faithfully in Tretayuga, His carriage now to reveal his commitment to devotion to the present generation.
