Lord Malayappa Swamy, mounted on the bejewelled Garuda Vahanam, being taken out in a grand procession along the Mada Streets in Tirumala on Friday.

An overwhelming tide of devotion swept across the sacred hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara on Friday as the spectacular Garuda Seva, the centrepiece of the annual Brahmotsavams, drew tens of thousands of pilgrims, turning the fifth day of the celestial festivities into a magnificent confluence of faith and religious fervour.

Lord Malayappa Swamy, adorned with an exquisite array of priceless traditional jewellery, was taken in a grand procession around the four Mada Streets on the resplendent golden Garuda Vahanam.

The celestial spectacle triggered waves of devotional ecstasy, with pilgrims breaking into fervent chants in the praise of Lord as the procession commenced from the Vahana Mandapam.
