Bathing Restrictions on Devotees for Sivaratri at Srisailam

Deccan Chronicle  

Kurnool: With water storage being limited in Srisailam dam, authorities are installing showers for devotees to bathe during the upcoming Maha Kumbhabhishekam and Sivaratri celebrations. Srisailam reservoir is presently holding mere 38.8 tmc feet of water, against its capacity of 215 tmc feet. However, it is customary for devotees to have their bath in River Krishna water at the time of Kumbhabhishekam and Sivaratri celebrations, which will be from March 1 to March 11 this year. Temple officials have thus planned to install showers at the Pathalganga bathing ghats, located behind Rajula Satram and RTC Bus Stand, so that devotees can have their bath and water too can be conserved.
