Two lakh devotees, from both the Telugu States, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, are expected to take part in the annual event that will conclude between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. The APSRTC is running 110 special services from various places for the benefit of devotees.

Special medical camps have been set up all over the town and Annadanam(free meals) will be organised both by the temple authorities and philanthropists.
