The Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple at Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh has dispensed with several sevas (rituals) in view of the heavy turnout of devotees during the auspicious Kartheeka Masam.
Heavy crowd thronged the Shiva shrine which opened at 3 a.m. on November 19 (Sunday). The temple was opened for darshan after completion of the pre-dawn rituals at around 4.30 am.
