Devasthanam Trust Board Chairman Karnati Rambabu and Executive Officer K.S. Rama Rao said that noted Avadhani Madugula Naga Phani Sarma would perform the Mahasatha Avadhaanam. It is a novel concept, the Avadhani will perform avadhanam on religious texts relating to Ammavarau. As many as 126 scholars will act as Pruchakas in the five-day avadhanam, they said.
