Fish prasadam distribution begins at Nampally Exhibition Grounds

The annual distribution of the famous ‘fish prasadam‘ for asthma patients, coinciding with Mrigasira Karthi, commenced at the Nampally Exhibition Grounds on Monday night.

Administered by the renowned Bathini family of Hyderabad, the two-day event drew thousands of people from various parts of the country seeking relief from respiratory ailments.

This year, the auspicious ‘muhurat’ to start fish



prasadam administration fell at 9 pm Monday, prompting the administration to deploy round-the-clock security and overnight civic amenities.

A massive rush was witnessed as the 23-acre exhibition grounds quickly filled to over 80 per cent capacity. By Monday 2 pm, all queue lines were packed. Around 25,000 patients waited in designated queues across the grounds, while another 15,000 took shelter inside the permanent Numaish stall structures.
