The CM also issued instructions to officials regarding the development plans for the temple. Later, at the temple's flagpole, he paid his respects by offering Koda Mokkul (a traditional offering of mangoes).

During his visit, special rituals were performed at the temple, including Archana (worship) at the Sri Lakshmi Ganapati Swamy shrine and the Rajarajeswari Amma temple, as well as the Abhishekam (holy bathing) for Sri Rajarajeswara Swamy. After the prayers, the Chief Minister and other ministers were blessed by the temple priests with Veda Ashirvachanam (Vedic blessings).

The visit was attended by several prominent political leaders, including Ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy, Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Damodara Rajanarsimha, Konda Surekha, Ponnam Prabhakar, Government Whip Aadi Srinivas, along with MLCs, and leaders from the United Karimnagar District.
