Thousands of devotees gathered at Tirumala Venkateswara Temple for Garuda Seva, with officials adjusting crowd-management measures as galleries filled up. The procession began at 6.30 pm instead of 7 pm, while the Garuda Vahanam was paused at several points for better viewing. Devotees waiting outside were allowed onto the Mada streets to offer Harathi and receive Darshan as officials coordinated security and crowd movement.
