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.
