The annual Brahmotsavam at Sri Venkateswara Mandir, New Delhi, took place in a grand manner between September 16 to 27, 2012. The Brahmostsavam began with the invoking of the Lord in agni (sacred fire), kumba (sacred water) and madala vedi (alter of earth). Offerings were made to the sacrificial fire both in the morning and evening. After the poornahuti (the final offering to the sacrificial fire), Perumal and His consorts were taken out in different vahanams around the area. Veda parayana and Divya Prabhanda ghoshti accompanied Perumal reciting the vedas and the hymns of azhwars during the purappadu. Further, Srimad Valmiki Ramayanam, Sribashyam of Sri Ramanujacharya and strotras of Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikan were also recited. Several bhaktas participated in the utsavam and got the anugraham of Thayar and Sri Venkateswara.
