The special kalyaanam of the deity was celebrated by the founder trustees of the temple, P. V. Krishna Reddy and Sudha Reddy. Vedic scholars explained the significance of Venkateswara kalyanam along with the chanting of mantras.
Before the event, Vedic scholars performed “chakrasnanam”, a special bath for the deities. On Wednesday morning, after the Nitya archana and tomala seva, the ceremonial idols are brought to the Snapana Mandapam and anointed with milk, curd, honey, etc., and Gandhotsavam and Chakrasnanam was performed.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
