" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
As soon as the Sathumorai is over, Now Nitya Harathi is performed to Dhruva Bera. These Nitya Harathi is offered by different ancient Mutts, which are situated in Tirumala from a very long time. Some 15 Harathis are offered to Dhruva Bera, by the Officiating Archaka and these Harathi’s are brought by the representatives of the respected Mutts. They bring in a Silver plate different fruits, Dry fruits and offer them to the Lord.
Now the Circar Harathi is performed and in this Harathi, TTD Officers will participate. After this the Sarva Darsan starts, and continues for about 1 hour. The line is stopped now for the II Bell.
Now Madhyahnika Archana starts and the Archaka will offer Astottara Namarchana with Tulasi, to Dhruva Bera, after offering Dhupa and Deepa. At the end of the II Archana, again the Potu Vaishnavas are prompted for bringing Prasadams for the II Bell. In this II Food offering, the Prasadams include, inside the Sanctum, in Sandhi place, Suddhannam is kept. To the right of Mulavirat close to Kulasekhara Padi, another basket of Suddhannam is placed, which is used for offering Bali to Parivara Devathas.
To the right of Lord, in the first column of the Sayana Mantapam, Seera Prasadam is kept, and Sakara Bath is kept to the left of Lord in Sayana Mantapam. Also one Gangalam of Dadhyodhanam and Pongal are also kept on both the sides in II Bell. In this II Bell, the ‘Thaligas’, which are offered by Devotees are also kept for Naivedyam in the Sayana Mantapam.
Devotees can offer Taligas to Dhruva Beram everyday in the II Bell and for this prescribed amount must be paid in the Vijaya Bank Counter (opposite to Vaikuntam Queue Complex) and the Prasadams they can offer are Dadhyodhanam, Pulihora, Pongal, Chakkera Pongal, Seera, Sakara Bath, Kadambam etc by paying the amount in the Counter before 12 Noon on the previous day. (Means if you wish to offer Taliga for tomorrow’s II Bell, you have to pay the said amount in the Counter today latest by 12 Noon).
Seera: This is the most sought after and costliest among Anna Prasadams. It is made with Rava and Sugar with topping of Cashew Nuts, Badam and Raisins. Rava is fried in Ghee and to this Sugar is added and stirred in a Pan. This Taliga is considered as a Special Taliga and is offered whenever Visesha Utsavams are performed (apart from daily II Bell).
Sakara Bath: This is made with Rice, Sugar and a little milk with a topping of Cashew, Badam and Raisins. Very Delicious and Mouth Watering. (Infact all the taligas, irrespective of their taste are deilicious to the devotees of Lord, once they are offered to Lord Srinivasa).
As soon as the doors are opened, Mukha Vasam is offered to the Lord. Since this II Bell is considered as an afternoon Lunch, at the end of this, Lord is offered with Betel Leaves and Betel Nuts mixed with Elaichi, Clove seeds. Also called as ‘Tamboolam’. An Archaka will go and offer Bali to Parivara Devathas.
Now the Sarva Darsan Continues till the evening. Sayankala Archanam starts and as part of it Night Thomala Seva is offered again after Suddhi is performed.
