This time, devotees in large numbers from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and other parts of the country thronged the temple and watched the celestial wedding held at the Midhila Stadium in the town.

Since the last two years, the celestial wedding was held in low key and devotees were restricted due to covid pandemic.

With the pandemic abating, the government has decided to conduct the event in the open and on a grand scale. The temple management has allocated two crore for the arrangements this year.

Temple officials have arranged drinking water, buttermilk and air coolers in the kalyana mandapam. Special LED TVs have been set up at vantage points.

On the other hand, keeping in view the Maoist influence, the police department made foolproof arrangements with 2,100 personnel. The district collectors of Khammam and Kothagudem-Badrachalam, senior officials from various departments were present.
