Hyderabad: Chilkur Brahmotsavams begin on low-key note

Dhwajarohanam is the ritual performed as prelude to the celebrations by anointing the flag of Garuda on the Dhwajasthambham

Hyderabad: Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the seven-day annual Brahmotsavams at Chilkur Balaji temple began on a low key with fewer devotees.

According to press release, the Dhwajarohanam is the ritual performed as prelude to the celebrations by anointing the flag of Garuda on the Dhwajasthambham. After Abhishekam, Naivedyam and Mangala Harathi, the Prasadam is offered to childless women, the temple authorities said, adding that every year the event attracts thousands of women due to the efficacy of the divine Garuda Prasadam.
