Devotees from Hyderabad and surrounding regions are eagerly preparing to witness the nine-day spiritual event.
Sacred Rituals Set the Spiritual Tone

Afterwards, devotees can participate in Sarva Darshan from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing them to seek blessings ahead of the grand celebrations.
Later, on the evening of February 16, the temple will observe Ankurarpana, marking the formal spiritual start of the Brahmotsavams. From that moment, the temple atmosphere will remain charged with devotion and sacred chants.
Vahanam Sevas Highlight Divine Grandeur
From February 17, the Brahmotsavams will unfold with daily Vahanam Sevas, held in the morning from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM and again in the evening from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, unless specified otherwise.
