Suprabhatam

Suprabhatam (Telugu: సుప్రభాతం, "auspicious dawn") is a name given to Sanskrit hymns recited in the morning to awaken the Lord.

The most famous is the Lord Venkateshwara Suprabhatam recited at Tirupati to awaken Venkateswara. The rendition by M. S. Subbulakshmi can be heard in many Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu houses each morning.
