Temple Executive Officer K.S. Rama Rao told the media on November 2 (Thursday) said that Bhavani Deeksha would be conferred between November 23 to 27 this year.
The conferment of deeksha would begin on the auspicious Kartika Sudda Ekadasi and it would conclude on Kartika Pournami on November 27, he said, adding that the temple authorities were expecting a huge rush during the relinquishment of the vow (Bhavani Deekha Viramana) which would begin in the first week of January, 2024.
