Key events include the Laksharchana Seva, where devotees will chant one lakh names of the Lord throughout the day, and the Venkateshwara Homa at 5:00 pm, aimed at promoting world peace. A cultural program featuring classical dance performances by renowned artists will add to the festive spirit from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Prasadam will be served to all visitors, with elaborate arrangements made for parking and other conveniences.
