Devotees thronged the Ramateertham and Ramanarayanam temples on the auspicious occasion of the Sri Rama Navami after a gap of two years. The festive buzz was back at these temples that wore a deserted look during the festival in the last two years owing to the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On behalf of the Andhra Pradesh government, Minister-designate Botcha Satyanarayana and his wife Botcha Jhansi offered ‘pattu vastram’ and pearls to the deities at the Ramateertham temple. The Sita-Rama kalyanam was performed in a traditional manner.
Vizianagaram MP B. Chandrasekhar, Collector A. Surya Kumari and other officials took part in the celebrations as the district administration made elaborate arrangements at the temple located 12 km from Vizianagaram city.
