The State government has taken a decision to appoint a special festival committee for nine day Dasara celebrations at Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Temple in Vijayawada. As per the sources, the temple utsav committee will be announced by the state government on Tuesday evening or Wednesday.
The Nine Day Dasara festival celebrations will be held from October 3. The utsav committee will monitor the arrangements of the Dasara festival celebrations along with the government machinery and temple administration. Already the state government has recognised the Dasara festival with state festival status. The state government usually gives the utmost priority for the festival celebrations.
The devotees will visit the temple from various parts of the country. The new government under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu took the responsibility just three months ago. In this backdrop, the state government did not appoint the temple board yet. There is a system to appoint the temple board with the members from the public including a chairman for the temple administration purpose.
Now the state government has taken a decision to appoint the special committee for Dasara festival purpose. The three MLAs Vijayawada East, Central and West along with MP will recommend the names for the temple utsav Committee. The state government may appoint 18 members for the utsavam purpose.
