Collector M. Hari Narayanan has instructed the district administration to make foolproof arrangements for the Maha Kumbhabhishekam at Lord Varasiddhi Vinayaka Swamy temple at Kanipakam near Chittoor, scheduled to be performed on Sunday.
The Collector, along with Superintendent of Police Y. Rishant Reddy and temple Executive Officer Suresh Babu, reviewed the arrangements made for the mega event. The renovation and new construction works at the temple, the history of which dates back to 1,000 years, were undertaken at a cost of ₹10 crore last year. The funds were raised through donations.
The temple authorities also readied a golden chariot for the presiding deity in coordination with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
