Garuda Seva is the most important and most attended day of the nine-day Tirumala Brahmotsavam.
Lord Venkateswara rides the golden Garuda — the eagle-king, His most beloved divine vehicle.
2 to 4 lakh devotees gather on the mada streets to witness this once-in-a-lifetime procession.
Thanks to Adhika Masa, 2026 has two Brahmotsavams — Garuda Vahanam on 19 Sep and 16 Oct.
The procession is held in the public mada streets — free for every devotee.
