Garuda Seva festival at Sri Varadaraja Perumal Temple at Kancheepuram.
I would like to share an email received from a friend of mine:
Brahmotsavam Festival 2015 held in the Tamil Vaikasi Month at the Varadharaja Temple in Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu attracts thousands of devotees.
The most important dates during the 10-day festival are the Garuda Seva on the 3rd day and the Car Festival or Rathotsavam on the 7th day. In 2015, the Garuda Seva festival will be held on June 1 and the Car Festival will be held on June 5, 2015.
Garuda Seva celebrated on the third day of the Vaikasi Vishaka festival attracts thousands of devotees. On the auspicious day Bhagavan Varadharaja leaves the temple on Garuda Vahanam (Mount) at 4:00 AM in the early morning returns to the temple at noon after giving darshan to devotees.
Garuda Seva is a popular ritual in Vishnu temples in South India. In it Vishnu rides atop Garuda, His Vehicle and gives darshan to devotees.
Car Festival or Rathotsavam on the 7th day held on the 7[SUP]th[/SUP]day of the Brahmotsavam festival is the pulling of the cart of Varadharaja Perumal.
