VIJAYAWADA: Authorities at the Kanaka Durga temple atop
Indrakeeladri
shrine have intensified the arrangements for
Sri Panchami celebrations on February 5. Sri Panchami has great significance as the presiding deity is adorned as the Goddess Saraswati Devi on that day.
Saraswati Havanam
will be performed at Chinna Rajagopuram or the temple, to pray for knowledge and wisdom for students. Special arrangements have been made for the devotees to have darshan, following Covid-19 guidelines.
Temple authorities usually invite the managements of schools to bring students for darshan on Sri Panchami, but officials have decided against inviting students this year in view of the pandemic.
However, executive officer
D Bramaramba
said a pen and a pocket photograph of the
Goddess Kanaka Durga
will be given to the students who visit the temple on Sri Panchami day.
Temple authorities said they will accept pens from donors for distribution of exam kits to students.
