# Chittoor post offices offer Kanaka Durga Dasara prasadam at Rs 116 2026-10-05T22:36:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Devotees in Chittoor district can now buy Goddess Kanaka Durga’s Dasara prasadam at their nearest post offices for Rs 116 per packet, Superintendent of Posts G. Keerthan said on 5 October 2026. The department has made special arrangements to deliver the prasadam of the goddess atop Indrakeeladri in Vijayawada during the Dasara Navratri festivities. Each packet, priced at Rs 116 inclusive of GST, contains a Kanaka Durga laddu, Shakti Kankanam, kumkum, akshintalu, a Kanaka Durga Prabha book, and laddu prasadam. The kit is designed to offer puja items along with the goddess’s blessings in a single pack. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The post office is stepping in as a distribution channel for temple prasadam, making it accessible to devotees who cannot travel to Vijayawada. The move bundles puja essentials into one fixed-price packet, removing the need for separate purchases. What remains unresolved is the delivery timeline and whether this service will expand beyond Chittoor district. The department has not announced a next step or a deadline for the scheme. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straight reporting of the announcement with no editorial framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
