Dolotsavam

This is one of the daily sevas of Tirumala, also called Unjal Seva. Unjal means “swing.”. The idols of Sri Malayappa Swamy, along with Sridevi and Bhudevi, are seated in a swing. The entire area is lit with lamps. During the Dolotsavam ritual, the priests chant the Vedas to the accompaniment of the Mangala Vadhyam, or sacred musical instruments.

Sri Malayappaswami, Sridevi, and Bhudevi are seated in the Unjal (swing), and the deities are swung to the accompaniment of Veda parayanam and mangalavadyam. This hall is present on the opposite side of Ranganayaka Mandapam.

The lamps are lit behind the swings, and the notes of different musical instruments used during this ritual are very impressive.
