ARRANGEMENT

A grand Chakra Snanam was held amid massive participation. Following the Thomala Seva, the utsava murthis (processional idols), were taken in a procession for abhishekam at the Snapanamandapam, followed by the ceremonial holy dip in the Pushkarini. Scholars said that bathing immediately after the Chakra Snanam grants immense spiritual merit, equal to performing a hundred Ashwamedha Yagas. Special arrangements were made for Paada Seva, Paada Abhishekam with coconut water, and Deepa Aradhana. Newly constructed mandapams representing the four Yugas were inaugurated by temple trustee Sudha Reddy along the temple mada streets.

The four-day Brahmotsavams concluded with Ekanta Seva, enabling thousands of devotees to receive divine blessings. Temple founders and trustees P. V. Krishna Reddy and Sudha Reddy supervised the celestial wedding ceremony. Trustees Sudha Reddy, Komma Reddy Bapireddy, Vijayabhaskaramma, P. Nagireddy, Prasanna and their families participated seated on traditional platforms, while Vedic scholars chanted sacred mantras and explained the spiritual significance of attending the divine wedding.
