The Story in Brief
Mahalakshmi temples in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts took on a festive appearance on the first Friday of Sravanam, with devotees attending special prayers. At the Mahalakshmi temple inside the Lord Jagannath Swamy temple in Santapeta, Vizianagaram, priests conducted ksheerabhishekam, kumkum puja and other rituals.
The Sri Kanyakaparameswari temple on G.T. Road in Vizianagaram organised devotional activities, while the Astalakshmi temple at Ayyannapeta saw devotees arrive from early morning. Temples in Cheepurupalli, Kammasigadam and P.N. Colony also planned charitable and cultural programmes. The Sravanamasa Utsavalu will continue until September 11, The Hindu reports.
The Indian Opinion
Festive crowds at these temples show the continuing strength of local religious traditions, but claims of a region-wide surge would go beyond the report. The account records activity at specific shrines, not attendance figures or economic gains. The useful measure will be whether the planned programmes continue through September 11 and how many devotees they actually draw.
