Bhimeshwara Temple Opens 24/7 for Jatara Pilgrims
The Sri Bhimeshwara Swamy Temple in Rajanna Sircilla will be open 24 hours on three Sundays in January 2026.
This is to help many people who will visit the temple before going to the Medaram Sammakka–Saralamma Maha Jatara.
The temple will have extra staff, water, and security to make sure everyone has a good visit.
The special opening days are January 4, 11, and 18.
This will help reduce crowds and make the pilgrimage smoother for everyone.
Sri Bhimeshwara Swamy Temple will offer 24-hour darshan on January 4, 11, and 18, 2026.
The decision is to manage the expected surge in pilgrims during the Medaram Sammakka–Saralamma Maha Jatara (January 28-31, 2026).
Elaborate arrangements include drinking water, buttermilk, additional staff, and strengthened security.
The temple is an affiliated shrine of the Sri Rajarajeshwara Swamy Temple.
