2.4K

Suprabhatha Seva, also known as “Wake Up Service,” is a traditional ritual performed at the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, India. The temple is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for devotees of Lord Vishnu, and is considered to be one of the eight sacred shrines of Lord Vishnu. The Suprabhatha Seva is performed every day before dawn, and is considered to be a special privilege for devotees.

The Suprabhatha Seva begins with the priests of the temple performing the “Nirmalya Darsanam,” which involves the removal of the previous day’s flowers and garlands from the Lord’s deity. This is followed by the “Abhishekam,” which is the ritual bathing of the deity with various liquids such as milk, curd, honey, and sandalwood paste. After the Abhishekam, the priests perform the “Alankaram,” which involves adorning the deity with fresh flowers and garlands.

After the Alankaram, the priests perform the “Deeparadhana,” which involves lighting a lamp in front of the deity. The lamp is lit with ghee (clarified butter) and camphor and is considered to be a symbol of the Lord’s divine light. The priests then perform the “Pujas,” which involve offering various items such as fruits, sweets, and incense to the deity.

The Suprabhatha Seva concludes with the “Arathi,” which is a special ceremony in which a lamp is offered to the deity while the priests chant prayers and devotional songs. The Arathi is considered to be the most important part of the Suprabhatha Seva, and is believed to bring blessings to the devotees who participate in it.

Participating in the Suprabhatha Seva is considered to be a great privilege for devotees, as it is believed to bring blessings from Lord Vishnu. The Suprabhatha Seva is also believed to remove obstacles and bring prosperity to the devotees’ lives. It is considered as one of the most auspicious times to have the darshan of Lord Venkateswara. It is open for all devotees and you can book a slot in advance.
