A ball of Civet oil mixed with refined camphor is placed at the feet of the Lord Sri Venkateswara. Then, Thirumanjanam or the sacred bath is performed for the deity first with water brought from Akasha Ganga which is poured through a conch covered with gold. Then the Lord Venkateswara is bathed with Milk (brought from T.T.D Dairy Form) and then with water.
Sri Ramanjua is supposed to have initiated this weekly Thirumanjanam, later this became a weekly seva during the period of Sri Krsihna Deva Raya. After this Abhishekam, a mixture of sandalwood paste, saffron and refined camphor (Paccha Karpuram) is applied to the Idol. Again Abhishekam is performed with water amidst the chanting of Purusha Suktham, Narayana Suktham, Sri Suktham, Nila Suktham and the Prabandam.
After Abhishekam, Vastralankara Seva (Vasatralankarana Seva) between 3 a.m to 3:30 a.m and Nija Pada Darshanam at 5:30 a.m.
Paccha Karpuram and Kasturi (musk) are used after Abhishekam and Punugu Kappu is used for putting on the Urdhava Pundram for the idol.
Theertham is collected in Silver cups during Thirumanjam and this is the Abhishekam Theertham from the body of the Lord Venkateswara with a little refined camphor and saffron that is distributed to the devotees. Then the deity is dried and receives a light of smearing of civet oil from head to foot. The face is lightly powdered and the usual Namam of Camphor and musk is drawn on the forehead.
Abhishekam is performed to the Goddess Lakshmi resident in the pendant of the gold chain resting on the chest of the Lord Venkateswara amidst chanting of Sri Suktham. And Finally Harathi is performed. Then the white Namam is made thicker and broader. Then Lord Sri Venkateswara is dressed in Pitambharam and adorned with valuable jewels and ornaments.
Sri Padarenut that is the Paccha Karpuram and Kasturi removed from the face of the main deity are mixed with civet oil collected from the feet of the Lord and kneaded by hand. A portion is distributed to the devotees in packets. This practice perhaps is related to the legendary tale in which Ananthalawar pressed camphor to the chin of the Dhruva Murthy to stop the oozing of blood from the wound on his chin.
According to inscription, the hour long Abhishekam for the main idol was introduced by Sri Krishna Dev Raya in the year 1429.

- While performing Abhishekam the lights in the Sayana Mantapam, Ramar Madai, Snapana Mantapam and Tirumamani Mantapam will be turned off so that the Abhishekam is visible to all the devotees near the Garuda Shrine.
- The Holy body of the Idol including face, is smeared with civet-oil and then the Tiruman-Kappu, the vertical whilte Vaishnavait mark in two thick patches, is performed with fine dust of refined camphor. together with an intermediate black one of musk. Further, in the present-day vocabulary of the temple, punugukapu includes not only the civet-oil and camphor but also musk and saffron, the former being used for putting on the middle mark Kasturi-Tilakam on the forehead, and the latter for making up the sandal paste besides being one of the articles of perfumery for the abhishekam.
- It is therefore probable that the two terms pulugu-kappu and punugukapu are mere variants and that the former comprised of the same four articles as the latter now does, namely punugu (civet) , paccha karpuram (refined camphor) , kasturi (musk) and kumkumapuvvu or Kesari (saffron).
