- Devotees from Telangana, organised by a Hyderabad-based committee, offered the traditional Golden Bonam to Goddess Kanaka Durga at the Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devasthanam atop Indrakeeladri in Vijayawada on Sunday.
- The offering, part of the ongoing Ashada festivities, continues a 16-year tradition and followed special rituals and a ceremonial procession from Jammi Doddi in Brahmin Street.
- Anticipating heavy crowds from the Bonalu offering and Ashada Saare offerings, the temple administration suspended protocol and VIP darshan from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with over 85,000 devotees having visited the previous Sunday and a larger turnout expected.
What to watch next
- Whether the expected larger turnout materialises and how crowd and traffic arrangements hold up
- Remaining Ashada festivities and any further special offerings at the temple
