Sri Durga Malleswara Swamyvarla Devasthanam atop Indrakeeladri, Vijayawada, is all set for the 'poornahuti' ritual on Monday, December 15, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. This marks the culmination of the annual Bhavani Deeskha Viramana, held at the Old Yagasala near the Shiva Temple. By the fourth day, about 3.75 lakh devotees had visited for darshan and completed the ritual. Endowments Commissioner M. Ramachandra Mohan inspected the spot and praised the smooth conduct and robust arrangements made by district officials. "Deeksha Viramana is progressing smoothly," he said, adding that facilities have met devotees' needs well. He expects around one lakh more devotees on the final day, with total participation reaching up to 6 lakh this year. Mr. Mohan personally checked services and distributed buttermilk packets to waiting pilgrims, who expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. New additions to aid devotees include four battery-operated vehicles on the Ghat Road and Durganagar downhill segments. These help senior citizens, differently-abled persons, and families reach the hilltop easily. The vehicles were funded by donations and support from banks like City Union Bank, Canara Bank, and Karur Vysya Bank. Devotees welcomed this initiative, saying it eased physical strain greatly. Additionally, the temple recently recovered encroached land and turned it into a devotee service centre, which now offers various facilities during the event. Elderly and physically challenged visitors praised these moves for their convenience and comfort. The district Collector, Police Commissioner, and other officials were also lauded for their efficient coordination in this time-honored festival.
