Third day morning is Garuda Sevai. by 3.50 am the procession started and there was no let up in the crowds this year too. Getting in and out of the temple was a task and the Kanchipuram kudai lived upto its tradition. But, with camphors being lit all around, it is impossible to click pictures outside where the changing of kudai or the umbrellas happen.

After the Simha Vahanam on the evening of Day 1 and Hamsa Vahanam on 2nd day morning the procession on 2nd day evening is Soorya Prabhai.

Senai Mudhalvar, chief commander of Vishnu's forces in SriVaikuntam takes the procession the evening before the Brahmotsavam or main festival starts. He goes on an inspection to check the roads are fine, and arrangements are good.
