It is an ongoing tradition to conduct two brahmotsavams in Tirumala Temple when an 'Adhika Masam' is occurred in a year as per Lunar Calendar. But in normal due course, only one annual brahmotsavam is performed.

 

Adhika Ashada Masam Brahmotsavams are called as Salakatla Brahmotsavams.

 

Annual Brahmotsavams are Known as “Navaratri Brahmotsavams”.

 

This year 2023, Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy  Salakatla Brahmotsavams will be celebrated from September 18  2023  to September 26,  2023. Popular stories trace the origin of this celebration to Brahma, the creator God, who first conducted this festival in Sri Balaji at Tirupati. Brahma worshiped Sri Balaji on the banks of the holy Pushkarini in Tirupati as a way to give thanks for the Lord’s protection of mankind. Hence, this utsava bears his name as “Brahmotsavam,” which means “Brahma’s Utsavam.”
