Here is a brief summary of main events in the Brahmotsavam celebration at the Balaji temple in Thirumalai. Dwajaarohanam in the evening. This signals start of Brahmotsavam to the whole town. Once the flag is hoisted, it is expected that no householder leaves town or plans any auspicious ceremony in the house until the conclusion of Brahmotsavam. Thus the whole town is able to fully take part in the celebration and not be preoccupied with other personal activities.
All devotees also take bath in the pushkarani.
The Deities are taken back to the Kalyana Mantapam of the Temple. The flag is un-hoisted, marking the conclusion of Brahmotsavam. Even watching the video of this majestic celebration in itself deeply touches our heart, mind, eyes and ears.
