Huge rush at Kanaka Durga temple for Ashada Saare Samarpana

V ijayawada: A spiritual wave swept across the city as thousands of devotees thronged the Sri Kanaka Durga temple on Indrakeeladri to offer the sacred Ashada Saare to the goddess. With the sacred month drawing crowds from across both Telugu states, the temple saw an overwhelming rush on Sunday. According to official reports, 57,419 devotees visited the temple by 3 pm alone. The ongoing Ashada Saare Samarpana, which began on June 26, witnessed a total of 4.15 lakh devotees in just 18 days, with 98% of them being women. The tradition, first launched in 2017 by then EO Adapala Suryakumari, continues to grow in devotion and scale each year. Given the massive turnout on Sunday, EO VK Seena Nayak cancelled all darshan tickets and arranged free darshan for everyone. He also ensured that special measures were taken to protect devotees from the heat, including tents at both small and big Rajagopurams, water sprinkling on Ghat roads and Kanaka Durga Nagar, and distribution of biscuits and water bottles. Crowd management was handled through CCTV monitoring and wireless communication, while assistant EOs, engineers, and superintendents worked round-the-clock to provide drinking water, toilet facilities, and maintain queue line infrastructure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 이 게임은 대부분의 TV 프로그램보다 더 재미있어요 – 게다가 무료예요.
