With the threat of resurgence of coronavirus looming large in the Sankranti season, the authorities of Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy temple in Vemulawada have decided to celebrate Mukkoti Ekadasi related events internally under the aegis of the temple priests without devotees on January 13.
The decision has been taken as per the GO Ms No 1, General Administration Department, dated 01.01.2022, and GO Ms No 6, GAD, dated 09.01.2022 to prevent the spread of COVID-19/Omicron, temple sources said.
