On the second day of the Navaratri Utsav, hundreds of devotees took part in the Sri Gayatri homam which was performed at the Sri Ganapati Kameswari Sahita Gayatridevi temple in Vizinaagaram on Tuesday. The temple witnessed unprecedented rush as the day is considered to be most auspicious for the presiding deity.

The temple managing trustee and senior advocate P.V. Ganesh and members of the temple committee made elaborate arrangements for the special prayers and homam. Traffic police were deployed to manage congestion on the busy roads leading to the temple. Meanwhile, several organisations arranged Durga pandals at various places including the Municipal Corporation, Railway station, Cantonment and other places.
