Major rituals to be performed behind closed doors
A rapid spread of a second wave of COVID-19 cases has cast a shadow on all forms of festivities slated to be held this week in Sri Rama temples across the TTD circuit.
The annual Brahmotsavams slated to be observed from April 21 to 29 at the famed Sri Kodandaramalayam in Vontimitta of Kadapa district will be performed in private (Ekantham), in view of the pandemic. The annual festival, which coincides with ‘Sri Rama Navami’ every year, used to be conducted amid much fanfare and religious fervour. All the ‘Vahanams’ (processions on celestial carriers) will be observed inside the temple, where devotees will not be allowed.

More than 100 quintals of Kalyana Talambralu left unsold since the last Sita Rama Kalyanam held in a low-key manner at Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam owing to the coronavirus pandemic on April 2 last year, were buried in a trench on the temple lands in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh’s Purushothapatnam on Friday.
The move was necessitated as a huge quantity of Kalyana Talambralu (rice mixed with vermilion, turmeric, saffron, gulal and other scented ingredients) prepared for the last year’s celestial wedding remained unsold in the temple’s storeroom due to the pandemic-related factors, temple sources said.
