# Srisailam temple plans five-day Varuna Yagam from August 7 2026-08-06T14:20:41+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Srisailam temple will conduct the Varuna Yaga Sahitha Sahasra Ghatabhishekam from August 7 to 11, with priests performing Varuna Yagam, Rudra Homam and other rituals for Lord Mallikarjuna and Goddess Bhramaramba. The Times of India reports that the Telangana government, citing a deficient monsoon, has separately ordered a Varuna Yagam at Nagarjunasagar on August 10, with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directing officials to organise the Vedic ritual to invoke rains, replenish water bodies and ensure a good agricultural season. During the Srisailam event, several services will be suspended due to the expected rush: Ganapati, Rudra, Mrityunjaya and Chandi Homams will stop from August 9 to 11, and Sparsha Darshan will be restricted. The state government's yagam will be performed by 108 ritwiks using 11 homa kundams at the Vijay Vihar premises on the Nagarjunasagar dam, with the CM expected to attend the concluding Purnahuti on August 10. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh, Srisailam Temple, Temple services, Varuna Yagam Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/srisailam-temple-to-hold-varuna-yagam-from-august-7-to-11/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
