Rajanna-Sircilla: Darshan has been temporarily suspended at Vemulawada Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy Temple in view of ongoing temple development and expansion works.

The decision was taken late on Tuesday night to expedite infrastructure upgrades and ensure smooth progress of the works within the temple premises.

At Sri Bhimeshwara Temple, rituals and offerings available are-- Abhishekam, Annapuja, Kode Mokku, Kumkuma puja, Nitya Kalyanam, and Satyanarayana Swamy Vratam among others.

Officials added that Kumkuma pujas are being performed at the Sri Gayatri Devi shrine located on the Bhimeshwara Temple premises.
