F. Sevas in tirumala

Arjita Seva means performing seva to the Lord on payment of a fee to the temple.

There are three kinds of Sevas: Daily Seva, Weekly Seva and Periodical Sevas.

Instructions to Grihasta :-

(The Temple addresses the main person performing the seva as Grihasta)

All people performing sevas are advised to report to the Vaikuntam queue complex at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before the start of the seva. Usually the time of reporting to the Queue complex is provided on the purchased ticket. Most of the Sevas require the pilgrims to adhere to traditional dressing norms: dhoti around the waist and uttariya (upper cloth) on the shoulder for men and saree salwar for women. The only exception to the rule is Archananantara Darshanam.

Daily Sevas

Pilgrims can perform sevas to both the main deity and the Utsava Murti. The Arjita Sevas performed to the main deity of Sri Venkateswara in the sanctum sanctum are conducted between 3.00 AM to 6.00 AM, during which darshan is allowed up to the threshold of the sanctum itself.
