Worried about the deficient rains in the state, the Andhra Pradesh Government asked the TTD to perform Yagnas to appease the disgruntled rain gods.


For the first time, the Government issued a GO with this effect and TTD officials to perform Yagnas and Yagams, Abhishekams etc. for the purpose of receiving bountiful rains.


"The development of temple culture in Bharata Varsha has its origins in the Agama Sastra which has its origins in the Veda. The performance of Vedic rituals in temples is an important part of the temple culture. Since times are immemorial, Indians have been performing Yagnas and Yagas every year to propitiate deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Varuna, Agni, Indra etc. These Yagnas were performed for the general welfare of society, to increase fertility of soil, to invite rains, welcome peace and health for society etc," the GO said.
