Last year, the RTC earned over Rs 45 lakh from 134 special buses during the season, and this year, it aims to exceed Rs 50 lakh in revenue. The Pancharamshetradarshini service runs every Sunday, connecting devotees to five prominent Pancharamala temples, including Amaravati, Bhimavaram, Palakollu, Draksharamam, and Samalkota. Anticipating heavy turnout along the coast, the Bapatla police have implemented safety precautions, as two to three lakh devotees visit Suryalanka, Ramapuram, and Vadarevu beaches annually for the holy dip.
