News from the Hindu. Sea of humanity at Tirumala for Garuda Seva More than one and a half lakh devotees witnessed the ``Garuda Seva'' on the fifth day of the ``Brahmotsavam'' at the Tirumala Hills on Tuesday. The processional deity of Lord Venkateswara, on the ``Garuda'' vahanam was adorned with precious jewels. In line with tradition, the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Minister, Mr. Simhadri Satyanarayana, offered a pair of silk ``vastrams'' to the Lord on behalf of the State Government. The ``sacred garland'' of Goddess Andal(Goda Devi) of Srivilliputtur in Tamil Nadu also reached Tirumala.
