Karthika Masam celebrations begin at Thousand Pillar temple
Hanumakonda: Warangal West MLA Naini Rajender Reddy said Karthika month is sacred and promotes spiritual consciousness and devotion among devotees.
The Karthika month celebrations began grandly at the historic Sri Rudreswara Swamy (Thousand Pillar Temple) in Hanumakonda on Tuesday.
Naini, the chief guest representing the state government, offered special prayers to Lord Shiva and inaugurated the celebrations by lighting a lamp. The programme began early in the morning with Utthishtha Ganapati worship during Brahmi Muhurta, accompanied by auspicious music. Mahanyasa Ekadasa Rudrabhishekam was performed using 11 litres of cow’s milk, followed by mass Rudrabhishekam.
Naini said women across communities observe Karthika month by lighting lamps and performing prayers. He described visiting the historic temple and participating in special pujas as a spiritually enriching experience.
Former corporators P. Prabhakar, Nagaraju, T. Venkateswarlu and B. Dinna attended. Temple Executive Officer D. Anil Kumar and chief priest Gangu Upendra Sharma blessed the MLA with holy water and vestments.
