Tirumala Srivari Brahmotsavams – 2026
Tirumala Srivari Brahmotsavams are the most important and auspicious festivals celebrated at Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple. This year, Brahmotsavams are celebrated twice at Tirumala — once in September (Saalakatla) and again in October (Navaratri). The September Brahmotsavams concluded on Sep 23; the Navaratri Brahmotsavams are still to come, from Oct 12 to Oct 20.
