In the presence of Vedic scholars, temple priests, and chanting of hymns, parents guided their children to write their first letters as part of the initiation ceremony. Around 250 children, pre-registered online from across the State, arrived early in the morning along with their parents.
After verification of registration details, entry was permitted. All the required materials, such as slates, chalk and puja kits, were provided free of cost to the participants. After the ceremony, special queue arrangements were made for the families to have darshan of Goddess Kanaka Durga.
Kanaka Durga temple Trust Board Chairman Borra Radhakrishna (Gandhi) and Executive Officer V. K. Sinha Naik and others were present.
