The Akhanda Dipradhana program is a dedicated initiative in Gokavaram Mandal aimed at fostering continuous spiritual practices across 13 local temples. Every month, essential puja materials are provided to these temples, supporting rituals such as doopa (incense offerings), deepa (lamp lighting), and other sacred offerings. This monthly provision ensures that these important practices are sustained, as it is believed that maintaining regular worship rituals will bring blessings and positive energy not only to the temples but also to the wider community and world.
The Akhanda Dipradhana program reflects a collective commitment to preserving cultural and religious heritage while nurturing a spiritual environment that encourages peace, harmony, and prosperity in the region.
Under this program, the worship process begins with an initial offering made to each temple, symbolizing reverence and invoking divine blessings. Following this, the temples are equipped with necessary materials, including incense sticks, oil, wicks, and other items for offerings. This support allows priests and devotees to carry out daily and special prayers without interruption, thereby upholding the continuity of traditional practices and fostering a deep spiritual connection within the community.
In a moving tribute to these devoted women, the event’s organizers chose ten standout devotees from among the 200 present, honoring them for their contributions and commitment. Each of these ten selected women was gifted with a gold Varalakshmi, a representation of the goddess of wealth and well-being, as a token of respect and acknowledgment of their dedication. This gold Varalakshmi gift was a rare and cherished memento that celebrated their deep-seated devotion and served as a blessing for their families.
In addition, every female devotee who attended the event received a symbolic one-gram Varalakshmi dollar. This generous gesture was not merely a gift but a token of unity and inclusivity, ensuring that every woman left with a keepsake embodying the goddess’s blessings. The distribution of these Varalakshmi dollars underscored the essence of the Jatara: a festival that not only reveres the goddess Mutyalamma Ammavaru but also fosters community solidarity, gratitude, and shared joy.
