The Divine Story

🌙 Ekanta Seva

Ekanta Seva is the final and most intimate ritual of the day, performed when the Lord is put to rest for the night. “Ekanta” means “solitude” or “privacy,” as this seva marks the end of the Lord’s daily activities. This seva is generally not open to the public as it’s part of the Lord’s private time.

The Night Ritual

During this sacred time, the Lord is prepared for rest. Special prayers are offered, and the sanctum is cleaned and prepared for the next day. The Lord is adorned with night garments and ornaments suitable for rest, symbolizing the divine taking human form and experiencing rest like us.

The Procession

First, reverence is paid to Sri Malayappa Swami seated majestically on Garuda Vahanam (the divine eagle), followed by worship at Hanumantha Vahanam and Peddasesha Vahanam (the cosmic serpent). Each vahana represents different aspects of divine protection and power.

Special Privilege

Upon completion of this seva, ticket holders are granted darshan of the main deity Moolavar, making it a complete spiritual experience combining both processional worship and sanctum darshan.

🪔 Sahasra Deepalankara Seva

Sahasra Deepalankara means decorating the Lord with a thousand wick lamps. This spectacular evening seva features Sri Malayappa Swami along with Sridevi and Bhudevi adorned with 1,000 lit lamps. The Lord is gently rocked in an unjal (swing) amidst Vedic chanting and Annamayya songs.
