On the morning
of the sixth day, the deities are carried on a beautifully-decorated
Hanumad Vahana.
Hanuman was one of the greatest
devotees of Sri Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Hanuman served the Lord so faithfully, that even the
Lord could not thank Hanuman enough. Devotees believe
that they are indeed blessed if they catch a glimpse
of the Lord on Hanumad Vahanam.
Unjal Seva is not performed on the
sixth day. Instead, Vasantotsavam (spring festival)
is celebrated.
In the night, the Lord is mounted
on the Gaja Vahana.Gajam (elephant) is also
called the samajam (born from Samaveda). It
symbolises wealth (gajamtam aishwaryam). It
also symbolises the Airavatam – the vehicle of
Devendra, the head of the heavens in Hindu mythology.
It also can be attributed to the elephant in Gajendramoksham
(story from the Mahabhaghavatam), which is saved from
a crocodile by Lord Vishnu.
Therefore, the Lord is taken in
a procession seated on a Gaja Vahana during Brahmotsavam.
