District Collector Dr Priyanka Ala has announced that arrangements are being made to ensure a smooth experience for devotees visiting Bhadrachalam for the Mukkoti Mahotsavam festival. During an inspection of the festival’s arrangements at the temple on Sunday, she also mentioned that tickets can be purchased online for the convenience of devotees. She advised devotees to book their tickets online as soon as they arrive. Sectors have been designated for devotees attending the Swami Vari Theppotsavam on December 22 and Swami Vari Uttara Dwara Darshan on the following day. Special officers will oversee the arrangements in each sector. To manage the crowds, shops set up on roads will be removed.
SP Dr Vineeth stated that devotees who have purchased tickets should arrive at their designated sectors one hour before the event. A strong barricade will be put in place to ensure peaceful celebrations. Devotees are urged to cooperate with officials. Traffic restrictions will be enforced in the town during those two days.
Other attendees at the inspection included Devasthanam EO Ramadevi, temple chief priests Seetharamanujacharya, RDO Mangilal, Mandal Special Officer Nagalakshmi, Irrigation EE Ramprasad, R&B EE Venkateshwarlu, and Gram Panchayat Secretary Srinivas.
