Religious ecstasy marked Hanuman Jayanti celebrations at the famous hill temple of Lord Venkagteswara on Wednesday.

Special poojas were performed at the ancient Bedi Anjaneya Swamy temple located in front of the main temple complex as well as at the temple situated on the north-eastern bank of the temple tank.

Special arrangements were made for transportation of pilgrims to the seventh mile on Ghat Road where offerings were made to the 60-feet tall Hanuman idol.

The TTD also organised Annadanam, and free buttermilk sachets were distributed to devotees. TTD Chairman C. Krishna Murthy presented silk Vastrams to the Jabali Hanuman temple.

Staff Reporter writes from Ongole: Hanumath Jayanti was celebrated across Prakasam district on Wednesday. All roads led to Singarakonda, the abode of Lord Prasanna Anjaneyaswamy, where special prayers were held.

The 99-foot idol of Hanuman erected beside the Hyderabad highway near Addanki attracted devotees in large numbers. Right from dawn, there was a heavy rush of devotees in all the Hanuman temples in the city including the Veeranjaneya Swamy temple at Santhapet and Panchamukha Anjaneya Swamy at Mangamur Donka. ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ was recited on the occasion.

Staff Reporter writes from Vizianagaram: devotees thronged age-old Sri Dasanjaneya Swamy (Chinna Anjaneya Swamy) Temple at Dasannapeta on the occasion of Hanumath Jayanti on Wednesday.
