To manage the rush, the Srisailam Devasthanam has suspended Sparsha Darshanam and Live Abhishekam on October 15 and 17. Temple EO L. Suresh Babu said special arrangements are underway. During the trip, PM Modi will also attend the ‘Simplified GST, Super GST, Super Savings’ programme at the Shivaji Inspiration Centre in Kurnool district, according to BJP state president P.V.N. Madhav.
The Srisailam Temple, situated in the Nallamala Hills, attracts millions of devotees every year. With Karthika Masam approaching, the temple town is already seeing record footfalls, adding to the spiritual vibrancy.
On Tuesday, BJP leaders, including Madhav and Nandyal MP Byreddy Sabari Reddy, reviewed preparations at Shivaji Raj Darbar and Shivaji Dhyana Mandir in Srisailam. Madhav remarked that the visit would boost Srisailam’s spiritual prominence and strengthen its position as a key religious and tourism hub.
Meanwhile, a high-level review meeting chaired by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ake Ravi Krishna was held to assess security arrangements. The IGP reviewed helipad management, route security, traffic control, parking zones, and the deployment of police pickets at crucial locations. He directed officials to maintain multi-layered security and ensure seamless coordination among all departments.
In Amaravati, a review meeting on Srisailam’s development was conducted by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and
Endowments Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy. The Chief Minister instructed officials to propose 2,000 hectares of forest land to the Srisailam Devasthanam to enhance infrastructure while preserving the natural environment.
Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan suggested studying Sabarimala’s development model and other major forest temples to improve facilities at Srisailam. Plans are underway to improve connectivity with national highways and expand accommodation facilities for devotees from Telangana, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
