Tirumala Brahmotsavam 2025: Key Dates, Garuda Seva, Rathotsavam, and Chakrasnanam
Tirumala, August 23: Ahead of the annual Brahmotsavams of Lord Venkateswara, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has completed renovation works of the sacred Swami Pushkarini. After a month-long effort, the Pushkarini has been reopened for devotees from Wednesday, TTD officials confirmed.
Pushkarini Gets a Fresh Look
The repair works, which began on July 20, included draining out the old water, removing accumulated sand, and clearing moss. Nearly 100 workers from the Waterworks Department worked round-the-clock to complete the purification. The steps of the Pushkarini have been painted with vibrant colors, enhancing its beauty. It has now been refilled with nearly one crore liters of water.
Devotees Allowed After a Month
During the renovation, the daily Pushkarini Harathi was suspended and devotees were not permitted into the sacred tank. With the completion of works, devotees can once again enter the Pushkarini from Wednesday.
