Mass Aksharabhyasam at Srisailam temple’s Kolanu Bharati Kshetram on Moola Nakshatra day

Special prayers, Abhishekam and other rituals will be conducted at Kolanu Bharati Kshetram, a temple adopted by the Srisailam temple, on the occasion of Moola Nakshatra on Friday (October 16, 2026).

As part of these celebrations held for the welfare of the world, special worship will be offered to Goddess Saraswati, and a mass ‘Aksharabhyasam’ (ceremony for children beginning their formal education) will be organised.

On the day, the main temple doors will open at 4 a.m. and the rituals will begin with the ‘Teertha Binda Seva’, a traditional ritual involving the ceremonial bringing of water from the ‘Kolanu’ (temple pond) into the temple. This will be followed by special ‘Abhishekam’, dedicated prayers, Pushparchana (worship with flowers), offering of prasadam and ‘Maha Mangala Harati’.
