Srisailam temple to celebrate Guru Purnima and Sakambari Utsavam on July 29

The Srisailam temple has announced special religious observances on July 29, coinciding with Guru Purnima and Sakambari Utsavam. On Guru Purnima, special pujas will be conducted for Lord Dakshinamurthy and Sage Vyasa, including rituals such as the recitation of Sankalpam and Maha Ganapathi Puja, followed by sixteen offerings to their portraits. Sage Vyasa, originally named Krishna Dvaipayana, is credited with dividing the Vedas into four parts and authoring the Mahabharata, which is regarded as the 'Fifth Veda.' Meanwhile, preparations for Sakambari Utsavam involve offering thousands of kilograms of vegetables and other items to the deities, with the belief that such worship promotes favorable weather conditions and agricultural prosperity.
