Srisailam Temple: Gramotsavam Canceled First Time in History Amidst Unprecedented Crowds

• Srisailam's Maha Shivaratri Brahmotsavams saw the Gramotsavam canceled for the first time ever.
• Overwhelming crowds prevented the processional deities from leaving the Rajagopuram.
• Devotees expressed deep distress and anger, calling it a 'great sacrilege' due to lack of planning.
• Silk clothes offering from Dwaraka Tirumala Temple also couldn't be performed due to the crowd.
• Temple administration is now vigilant, with police working to prevent stampedes as crowds are expected to grow.
