TIRUPATI: On Day 4 of the Brahmotsavam of Sri Kalayana Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Srinivasa Mangapuram, Venkatewara donned as Sri Rajagopalaswamy avatar and rode on the Kalpavruksha vahanam along with his consorts Sri Devi and Bhudevi.

He wore gold and diamond studded Chandrakolu, Dandam and classic jewellery as he blessed devotees on the four mada streets in the morning.

TTD had roped in cultural teams of chakka bhajans, kolatams and holy drums which drove devotees ecstatic with offering of camphor haratis. The Kalpavruksha denoted the celestial fruits for devotees.

Later in the evening after Unjal seva the Lord will ride Sarvabhoopala vahnam with royal insignias denoting that the Lord ruled  all over the universe.
