Temple Staff to Greet Devotees with 'Jai Bhavani' and Upgrade Facilities
The temple in Vijayawada decided to make visiting more pleasant.
The temple boss told the staff to say "Jai Bhavani" to everyone who comes.
He also said that no one should bring phones inside the temple.
To help people move around, a new line was made so they don’t have to go through the main hall.
A ramp and a wider exit will also be built to keep crowds from getting stuck.
All these changes are meant to make the temple a nicer place for worshippers.
Temple staff will greet devotees with "Jai Bhavani" to enhance the spiritual atmosphere.
Executive Officer V.K. Seena Naik ordered strict enforcement of the mobile‑phone ban inside the shrine.
A new queue line will allow devotees to access puja mandapams without passing through the main temple.
