After conducting Vishwaksena puja, at 12 pm during Abijit lagnam jeelakara-bellam ritual was conducted, followed by talambralu offering.
Endowments Minister A Indrakaran Reddy offered silk clothes and mutyala talambralu to the festival deities on behalf of the State government. Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar also offered silk clothes to the deities.
