In tirupati Ezhumalaiyan temple, on the occasion of the annual Brahmotsavam, the temple cleaning work known as Azhwar Thirumanjanam is usually carried out 4 times a year, namely the Anivara Asthanam, Ugadi festival, and Vaikunta Ekadashi festival.
Accordingly, the Vaikunta Ekadashi festival will be held on January 10. On this occasion, devotees are being given Vaikuntha Dwara Darshanam from January 10th to 19th. Due to this, the temple Azhwar Thirumanjanam is being conducted from 6 am to 10 am on January 7th.
Devotees will be allowed to have Swami Darshanam in the temple after the cleaning work is completed.
