Gangamma Jatara passes off peacefully

Chittoor: The two-day Gangamma Jatara passed off peacefully in the city on Wednesday without any untoward incidents. Thousands of devotees took part in the jatara with devotional fervour.

BJP leader and founder trustee of Gangamma temple C K Babu and his wife Lavanya have participated in the Suprabhata seva to Goddess Gangamma. The organisers made elaborate arrangements to devotees for hassle-free darshan.

Chittoor DSP Subba Rao has supervised the security arrangements. There is a strong belief among the devotees that the city will get bountiful rains on the last day of jatara. However, the belief was disproved as there was no rain on Wednesday.
