What is Kumkum Archana Seva and Why is it So Special?
Before diving into the logistics, let’s understand why so many devotees aim to perform this seva.
🔸 Kumkum Archana Seva is a sacred ritual at Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple in Tiruchanur, near Tirupati.
🔸 During this ritual, Kumkum (vermilion) is offered to the Goddess while the priests chant the devotee’s name, nakshatra (star), and gothram.
