The main deity and processional idol of Goddess Bhramaramba, the deity of Goddess Rajarajeswari, Goddess Annapurna, and the village deity, Goddess Ankalamma, were adorned with various vegetables and offered special prayers. The temple premises was also decorated with vegetables.
According to the temple executive officer M. Srinivasa Rao, 3,000 kg of vegetables — nearly 100 ash gourds, more than 2,000 lemons and various varieties of leafy vegetables — were used to decorate the deities and the temple.
Vedic priests performed special rituals and pujas seeking blessings of the goddess. Goddess Sakambari, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati, is considered as the one providing nourishment and sustenance through fruits, vegetables, and grains.
