Lord rides on Suryaprabha Vahanam

Tirumala: On the seventh day of Brahmotsavams at Tirumala on Wednesday, Lord Malayappa Swamy blessed His devotees as Sri Suryanarayana Murthy on Surya Prabha Vahanam. According to our mythology, Lord Sriman Narayana lies in the midst of Surya Mandala which is the Sun's sphere in the cosmos.

Wearing a diamond gauntlet, seated majestically atop the seven horses driving Surya Prabha Vahanam, Sri Malayappa Swamy took a celestial ride along the four mada streets. Devotees were thrilled to see Sri Malayappa Swamy on Suryaprabha Vahanam on Wednesday morning.

Later, in the evening the Lord was taken in a procession on Chandraprabha Vahanam. Cultural shows by various troupes added more to the spiritual ambiance. TTD EO Anil Kumar Singhal, JEO KS Sreenivasa Raju, Trust Board members and others were present.
