Kakinada: To mark the auspicious day of Maha Maghi (Magha Pournami, Full Moon Day), thousands of devotees gathered at the Uppada seashore and take the holy bath here on Wednesday. Continuing the annual tradition of Maha Maghi, the renowned deity of Pithapuram, Kunti Madhava Swamy along with his consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi comes to the shores of Uppada.
The priests performed the Chakra Snanam, a holy bath under the Chakra Ayudha of Lord Vishnu, to the deities. Devotees competed to have the holy bath under the Chakra of the deity Kunti Madhava.
It is believed that by taking the holy Chakra Snana, one's sins would be freed. The Kunti Madhava Temple Priests offered prayers to the Sun God before the commencement of the annual ritual by reciting the charms in Tamil and Sanskrit languages.
