Vijayawada, March 13, 2026: Authorities at the iconic Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Temple atop Indrakeeladri have taken proactive steps to maintain smooth operations.
The temple uses about 30 commercial LPG cylinders each day to prepare laddu and pulihora prasadam, plus free meals under the Nitya Annadanam scheme for nearly 50,000 devotees. Monthly consumption nears 1,000 cylinders.
Assistant Executive Officer Venkat Reddy confirmed regular supplies from multiple dealers continue without issue, with additional cylinders stocked as a precaution against potential disruptions tied to escalating tensions in Iran.
Temple officials stressed no immediate risk to services, ensuring devotees face no interruption in spiritual offerings.
