Bhongir: Rain water enters Yadadri Balalayam

Temple priests performed pooja programmes at Balalyam as usual. Devotees, however, are not permitted to have darshans at the temple due to the lockdown.

Nalgonda/Yadadri-Bhongir: Heavy rains lashed erstwhile Nalgonda district on Thursday morning, resulting in rain water entering Balalayam of Sri Lakshminarsimha Swamy temple on Yadadri hill shrine.

With the flooring works around the main temple completed, Balalayam is on a slightly lower area on the hill shrine. Due to heavy rain, the water started entering the Balalyam and flowing out of the entrance door. This fortunately prevented water stagnation in Balalayam. The water did not rise to the level where the presiding deities are placed in the temple.
