As part of the Chandanotsavam arrangements, Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple priests started sandalwood grinding ritual at the hilltop shrine of Simhachalam on Saturday.
Amidst of lockdown, the ritual was performed by Devasthanam chief priest, Vedic scholars, and few other staff. The physical grinding of sandalwood is carried out with a total of 33,800 kgs sandalwood sticks. The sandalwood paste will be applied to the main idol of Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy on Chandanotsavm, which is scheduled on April 26th.
