New bus service launched to Palakondaraya temple for Sravanam month

Local Telugu Desam Party leader Reddeppagari Srinivasa Reddy on Saturday flagged off a bus service to Sri Lakshmi Palakondaraya Swamy temple, approximately 25 kms from Kadapa, aimed at providing convenient transport facility to the pilgrims.

“There are no bus services available on this remote route and hence this free bus service is launched, keeping in view the hordes of devotees travelling to this temple,” Mr. Reddy said.

The bus, which will ply thrice a day between the Kadapa old bus stand and the temple, will be operational for the month of Sravanam.

A large number of devotees from the city and the neighbouring villages, especially women and senior citizens, make a beeline to this hill shrine in the month of Sravanam.
