Mass Aksharabhyasam at Srisailam temple’s Kolanu Bharati Kshetram on Moola Nakshatra day
The temple doors will open at 4 a.m. for special prayers to Goddess Saraswati
On Friday, October 16, 2026, a grand Aksharabhyasam ceremony took place at the Kolanu Bharati Kshetram, a temple affiliated with the Srisailam temple. This auspicious day, falling under the Moola Nakshatra, saw special prayers dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. The Srisailam temple trust board also approved a master plan for the next 30 years, focusing on dormitories, toilets, and parking facilities for devotees.
The plan also includes the use of AI-based monitoring systems. As the main temple doors opened at 4 a.m., the rituals commenced with the 'Teertha Binda Seva', a traditional ritual involving the ceremonial bringing of water from the temple pond into the temple. This was followed by special 'Abhishekam', dedicated prayers, Pushparchana, offering of prasadam, and 'Maha Mangala Harati'.
To aid the devotees, QR code boards displaying the temple's history in 130 languages have been installed at around 60 locations within the temple complex.
