As today is the last Monday of the month Karthika, devotees thronged Shiva temples all over the State. Srisailam is crowded with the pilgrims and their calling the deity is reverberating in the pilgrim center. 

Devotees are visiting their nearest Shiva temples to get the blessings of the deity.  Pancharamas are fully crowded. Devotees have started from 4.00 am today by lighting Karthika Deepams in the temple.  Special archanas and abhishekams are going on in the temples.

At the Shiva's famous pilgrim center Srisailam it is taking 6 hours for the devotees general queue and 2 hours in special darshan queues.
