Hundreds of parents who came along with kids for Aksharabhyasams were disappointed on Saturday with the lack of permission for Aksharabhyasams within the premises of Gnana Saraswati temple on Ring Road in Vizianagaram. The government’s orders restricted the presence of large number of devotees in temples.
The government reportedly issued orders to all the temples not to allow any special prayers as it might lead to the spread of Covid-19.
