ANANTAPUR: The Maha Shivaratri Brahmotsavam is approaching, and the Srisaialam Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy & Goddess Bramarambika Temple is preparing.
For prayers and other ceremonies, a sizable contingent of devotees from many states is anticipated. This week, the temple administration was busy finishing up unfinished projects before the commencement of Brahmotsavam in order to set up the amenities for pilgrims.
President Droupadi Murmu recently opened a number of construction projects in Srisailam, albeit some of them are still in the early stages of development. The pending works have been examined by Temple executive officer S. Lavanna and engineers.
Particularly during Shivaratri, the hill town has massive influxes of devotees during Padayatra, Shiv Mala, etc. The executive officer stated, “We intend to finish all works properly in time for the event.”
Numerous building projects, such as setting of Salu Mandapas and a connecting circuit with all of the Pancha Mathas, kept the temple town active. Pushkarini Temple, also known as Sarasvi Pushkarini and Pancha Mathas, is being rebuilt.
The tile flooring in the temple grounds was poorly done. Changes would be made by the engineering wing.
Additionally, work was still being done on the Salu Mandapam at the Goddess temple’s northern side. The EO gave the appropriate approvals to finish the construction on schedule and while preserving the mandapams’ historic resemblance on the opposite side.
A grill will be positioned across from the main temple’s East face as part of safety precautions. This will make it easier for worshippers to visit Srisailam to see the Pushkarini.
On the open site, plants with spiritual associations including Bilwam, Kadambam, Usiri, and Deva Ganneru will be planted in a garden with landscaping.
Along with Shivamala worshippers, there are a lot of devotees visiting the temple from Karnataka and Maharashtra. Devotees within and outside the temple have noted a number of instances of subpar conditions. The celebration will be organised by the government, including the walkathon route through the Nallamala forest.
