Major temples in Hyderabad and its outskirts have begun witnessing a significant influx of devotees. Extensive arrangements have been made at the renowned Ramalingeshwara temple atop Keesaragutta, which attracts a large number of worshippers.
Hectic activity is underway to complete arrangements including erection of pandals and providing basic amenities like drinking water for devotees at prominent Shiva temples in Keesaragutta and even at the Sri Raja Rajeswara Swamy Temple in Vemulawada.
