" What an unimaginable and parama-Bhagyam it was to be with the Divya
Dampatis, yesterday, on the Second Day of The Brahmotsavam.
On the Second day, Sri Garuda AdhivAsam was done so
eloborately, DhwajArOhaNam was a feast to the eyes and a great spectacle in
itself, the samasta-Devata-AhvAnam, to the accomapniment of vividha rAgAs and
thAlAs, as chanted by the Priest and copied by the Nada Swara Vidwans and the
Drums Vidwans, was mesmerising the more than 200 devotees present.
Then Sri Sudarsana went round the Temple as Bali-HaraNam was going on in
all the eight directions to the accompaniment of vAdyams and Special thAlAs,
with all Temple MaryAda and after that Lord Sri Ranganatha's procession, taken
round the Temple in a beautiful Pallaki by so many devotees, with such great
devotion, including the hand-held torches, Devotional fervour, the accompaniment
of WONDERFUL nAdaswaram, with two Shehnoys and two percussion instruments,
the vAhakAs dancing to the Special nAdaswaram playing the nAgAbharanam, all the
