A review meeting was held at the Salarjung Museum with officials and local representatives to discuss the management and arrangements for the festival, which will take place in the Old City of Hyderabad on July 16.
During the meeting, Yadav mentioned that the government is taking responsibility for organizing the festival in a grand manner. To support this, a budget of Rs. 15 crores has been allocated to provide financial assistance to various temples.
