Devotee turnout was moderate on the second day of the Dasara Sarannavaratri festivities atop Indrakeeladri, the abode of Goddess Kanaka Durga, in Vijayawada on Monday (October 12, 2026). The presiding deity was adorned as Sri Gayatri Devi.

The rush remained thin until 10 a.m., then gradually increased, with 63,370 devotees having darshan by 1 p.m., according to temple officials.

The temple administration deployed advanced technology, strengthened medical services, and intensified crowd-management measures to ensure safe and convenient darshan for the devotees visiting the Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devasthanam.
