Frequently Asked Questions about the Unjal Seva:
What happens during the Unjal Seva?
After the celestial wedding (Kalyanotsavam) of Lord Malayappa Swamy with His consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi, the deities are taken to the Aina Mahal (Mirror Hall). In the center of this mandapam, the deities are seated on a swing (Unjal), and the Unjal Seva is performed.
