In the early hours of the day, the processional deities of Lord Malayappa Swamy, his two consorts and Lord Chakrathalwar were carried in a ceremonial procession to the temple of Lord Bhu Varahaswamy on the banks of the Pushkarini, the temple’s holy tank.
Priests chanted Vedic hymns and performed the traditional Thirumanjanam, a ritual bathing of the deities, before proceeding to the climax of the ceremony.
At the appointed muhurtam, the idol of Chakrathalwar was immersed in the tank waters, marking the formal conclusion of the Brahmotsavams. The immersion attracted an overwhelming crowd that gathered on the steps of the tank.
As the idol sank, thousands of worshippers plunged into the Pushkarini to take a holy dip, creating a scene of intense religious fervour and devotion.
The Brahmotsavams, which began on September 15, featured daily processions of Lord Malayappa Swamy on various vahanams, drawing pilgrims from across India over the nine‑day period.
The festivities were formally closed in the evening with the Dwajavarohanam, the ceremonial lowering of the Garuda flag from the Dwajasthambam, signalling the end of the annual celebrations.
