What is Brahmotsavam and its significance?

Brahmotsavam literally means “Grand Celebration”. According to terminology, it means the celebration that is performed by Lord Brahma. The legend of Brahmotsavam illustrates that once Lord Indra, who is the king of heaven, killed a Brahma raakshasa. Brahma raakshasa is one who is Brahmin but has all demonic characters. In this way, Indra incurred the sin of killing a Brahmana which is called Brahma hatya dosham.  Indra could not stay with this sin in such heavenly planets and requested Brahma to show the path to remove his Brahma hatya dosham. Lord Brahma relieved Indra of this sin by conducting a ceremony in which Indra carried Lord Vishnu on his head during the special ritual performance. This ritual is the holy bath of Lord Vishnu called  “Avabhrutha Snaanam”. This very ritual became so famous and was celebrated henceforth as Brahmotsavam.  Brahmotsavam celebrations have so much cleansing effect on the temple and the devotees. 

This ceremony is celebrated periodically in the temple where the washing activities are meant to wash away the sins of the devotees. It is said that the great demigods like Brahma and Indra wait eagerly to participate in the Brahmotsavam.
