A Palanquin festival is held in connection with the culmination of Brahmotsavas on the ninth day. Later at an auspicious moment the splendid festival of the Chakrasnana is celebrated. The last episode in the Brahmotsavam is the Avabhritha, the holy dip of the disk. The Brahmtsavam is celebrated for nine days as a yaga and the culmination, with a sense of devotion, on the morning of the ninth day the holy dip is administered. The vedic scholars recite Srisukta, Purusha sukta and Bhusukta. the Dravidian scholars recite Niratta.
Ahohi Vaishnavo Dharmah chitro Venkata bhudhare. All this is sport of Lord Vishnu. The Vaishnava religion is strange and amazing.
On the ninth night the festival of Dhwajavarohana takes place. the vedic scholars chant the scriptures, with instruments playing the drums beating, bidding farewell to Brahma and the other gods, and the flag of Garuda is made to descend from the flag post. Thus the Brahmotsavas that start with the hoisting of the flag of Garuda inviting Brahma and other gods besides the lords of the directions culminates with the descent of the same flag and bidding farewell.
