Devotees turned up in large numbers on the second day of the Sakambari festival atop Indrakeeladri, the abode of goddess Kanaka Durga, here on Sunday. Temple premises and the sanctum and sanctorum were decked up with fruits and vegetables.
Devotees, including Vijayawada (Central) MLA Malladi Vishnuvardhan, also presented aashada maasam saree (a kind of presentation given to married women by parents or brothers during aashaada maasam) to the deity Kanaka Durga.
Devotees and artistes, under the aegis of the Bhagyanagar Sri Mahankali Jathara Bonala Utsavala Ummadi Devalaya Uregimpu Committee from Hyderabad in Telangana, visited the temple to offer ‘bonam’ (a pot filled with rice, jaggery, etc.) and silk robes (pattu vastralu) to the presiding deity.
