Karthika Masam celebrations conclude on a grand note
The celebrations of Karthika Maasam, which is considered an auspicious month to worship Lord Shiva and seek his blessings, concluded this Friday.
The celebrations of Karthika Maasam, which is considered an auspicious month to worship Lord Shiva and seek his blessings, concluded this Friday.
‘Poli Swargam’ that marks the actual conclusion of Karthika Masam will be observed by the women devotees, a day after Amavasya which is on Saturday. Women devotees will light lamps or deepams in the trunks of a banana tree to flow in the river and canals to cleanse them of their sins and well-being of their family.
Temples like One Town Sivalayam, Siva temple near Challapalli Bunglow, Ramakoti in Satyanarayanapuram, and Sarabhaiah gullu in Durga agraharam witnessed heavy rush. Devotees made a beeline for temples to have a glimpse of the presiding deities.
Women devotees reached the bathing ghats, more particularly Durga ghat near Indrakeeladri, in the early hours to take a holy dip in the Krishna. Later in the evening hundreds of devotees gathered in the temples, recited bhajans, and sang in praise of Lord Siva.
