Govardhana Giridhari Krishna Blesses Devotees on Majestic Pushpa Vimanam at Tirumala

Tirumala, Oct 17 (UNI) Sri Malayappa Swamy, adorned as Govardhana Giridhara Sri Krishna, along with Sridevi and Bhudevi dressed as Rukmini and Satyabhama respectively, blessed devotees during the majestic Pushpa Vimanam procession on the Mada Streets of Tirumala on Saturday evening as part of the sixth day of the ongoing Navaratri Brahmotsavams.
Thousands of devotees gathered to witness the celestial procession, in which the presiding deity was seated atop an elaborate floral vimanam.
The Pushpa Vimanam Seva holds special significance as it is performed once every three years during the Navaratri Brahmotsavams held in the auspicious Adhika Masa.
The highlight of the procession was the 24-foot-tall Pushpa Vimanam, measuring 15 feet in length and 15 feet in width and weighing nearly one tonne.
Crafted entirely from coconut-tree leaves, the structure was decorated with a variety of traditional flowers, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and devotional artistry.
Idols of Sri Anjaneya Swamy and Sri Garudalwar adorned both sides of the vimanam, while depictions of deities associated with the four Yugas added to its religious significance.
The floral vimanam was created with the support of Chennai-based donor Sri Ram Prasad Bhatt.
TTD Executive Officer Muddada Ravichandra, Additional Executive Officer Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary, Chief Vigilance and Security Officer Muralikrishna and other officials participated in the event.
