KURNOOL: The Sri Bramarambha Mallikarjuna Swamy temple of Srisailam has decided to organise large-scale bhogi pandlu, rangoli competitions and gopuja during the seven-day Sankranti Brahmotsavams set to begin Wednesday amid Covid protocols, said temple executive officer S Lavanna.
Stating that all arrangements are in place for the grand observance of the festival, he, however, noted that there will be no sparsa darshanam and arjitha sevas during the period. During the celebrations, rituals such as mandaparadhanalu, mulamantra japanushtanalu, rudrahomam, pushpotsavam, payanotsavam, panchavaranarchanalu and others are performed. The special feature of these celebrations is that on the Sankranti day kalyanothsavam will be performed.
