In Virtual Seva mainly four types of Swami Vari Arjitha Sevas are available:
- Kalyanam
- Unjal Seva
- Sahasra Deepalankarana
- Arjitha Brahmotsavam
In these Virtual Sevas you watch the seva online sitting at home on your TV, laptop or mobile phone. only then you will be allowed to go to Tirumala Hill for Srivari Darshan. That is why these are called Virtual Seva Tickets. For example, if you booked Kalyanam Ticket, you have to first watch the Kalyanam being performed on Tirumala Hill, after that only you will be allowed for Srivari Darshan.
