Elaborate arrangements are being made for the Teppotsavam (float festival), the concluding ceremony of the nine-day Dasara Navaratri celebrations of the Kanaka Durga temple atop Indrakeeldari in Vijayawada, in the Krishna River on October 20.

Devotees are excited for the Teppotsavam this year as it was cancelled in the last two years due to the floods in the Krishna.
