(COST
RS 1250/- PER PERSON, PRASADAM : 2 BIG LADDUS, 2 VADAS,

UTTARIYAM OR 1 BLOUSE PIECE)
This seva is
conducted after the second bell. This ritual was first introduced in
Srivari Temple in
1984 on the Golden Jubilee Year of TTD, when a Muslim
Devotee offered Lord
Srinivasa 108 gold lotuses.
The archaka commences
the puja by offering dhupa(arti stick) and deepa(lit the
lamp) to the main
deity. Then he recites the divine names (108) of the Lord.
While uttering each
name of the Lord, one golden lotus is offered at the holy feet
of the lord. On
completion of the archana to the Mula Virat, archana is offered to
Goddesses Lakshmi and
Padmavati. Later Ratha Harati is offered first, followed by
ordinary Harati.
