Thomala Seva

Garlanding the main deity and utsava deities of lord sri Venkateshwara along with other idols with the flowers and sacred basil is called Thomala seva.

This arjitha seva is intended to call the special attention of the pilgrim grihasta who takes part in paying the requisite amount to witness the flower decoration of the “Mula Virat”(main deity)which takes place at the end of the puja.

The way the garlands are hung down from the shoulders of the Lord is called Tholmalai. This, in turn, changed to Thomala. (Tol means shoulder).
