During this seva, elaborate rituals and festivities are conducted over a period of several days, celebrating the glory and divine presence of Lord Venkateswara. Devotees participate in various rituals, including processions of the deity's idol atop exquisitely decorated chariots, accompanied by chanting, music, and offerings. The Arjitha Brahmotsavam Seva is a deeply spiritual experience for worshippers, fostering a sense of connection and devotion to the deity, while also symbolizing the grandeur and splendor of Hindu religious traditions.
