Hamsa Vahanam-.Annual Salakatla Brahmotsavam Day 2 Evening

The grand procession of Lord Venkateswara on the second day of Salakatla Brahmotsavam on the beautiful  Hamsa Vahanam is colourful feast to the tens of thousands of eyes. Lord Venkateswara as Malayappa swamy blessed his devotees as Veenapani Saraswati atop Hamsa or Swan.

Swan or Hamsa also stands out for its capabilities to weed out the good from the bad. In other words the celestial bird is known for its in-born virtues to segregate the milk from water in a pot of this mixed liquid. This denotes that Lord Venkateswara as Hamsa vahanaroodha(the rider of swan vehicle) will weed out the bad qualities in a human being and retain only the good virtues.


Srivari Hamsa Vahanam denotes the significance attached towards selfless service of everyone towards mankind and that ego and personal pride would keep them away from Lord Venkateswara and his divine blessings.
