Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday offered prayers at the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Varla Devasthanam in Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh. According to BJP sources, “PM Modi performed Rudrabhishekam with Panchamuralu (a sacred mixture made of five ingredients—cow milk, cow curd, cow ghee, honey, and sugar).”
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan accompanied him during the visit.
The Mallikarjuna Swamy temple holds immense religious significance as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and one of the 52 Shakti Peeths. A unique feature of this temple is the coexistence of a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peeth within the same premises, making it one of its kind in the entire nation.
Following the temple visit, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Sree Shivaji Spoorthi Kendra, a memorial complex that includes a meditation hall featuring models of four iconic forts—Pratapgad, Rajgad, Raigad, and Shivneri—positioned at the four corners. In the center stands a statue of the legendary king Chhatrapati Shivaji in deep meditation.
Run by the Sree Shivaji Memorial Committee, the meditation hall was established in the temple town to commemorate Chhatrapati Shivaji’s historic visit to the sacred shrine in 1677.
Later, the Prime Minister will proceed to Kurnool to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for several development projects spanning key sectors such as power, defence, railways, and petroleum.
Additionally, PM Modi will address a public meeting titled ‘Super GST - Super Savings’ to explain the benefits of the new-generation GST reforms to the people. Earlier in the day, he was received at Kurnool Airport by Governor S Abdul Nazeer, Chief Minister Naidu, and other dignitaries.
