Traffic slows as devotees flock to Chilkur Balaji temple for Brahmotsavam

The Annual Brahmotsavam at Chilkur Balaji Temple brought a surge of devotees from Hyderabad and nearby areas, causing significant traffic congestion on Friday. 

Devotees began arriving at the temple in the early hours, leading to a slowdown in traffic along the route from TSPA via Aziz Nagar towards the temple. This congestion stretched for kilometers near



Rajendranagar Police Academy, despite efforts by the police to manage the situation.

The influx of devotees created long queues at the temple, especially for Garuda Prasadam, which is traditionally offered to childless women. The resulting delays affected school buses and commuters, raising concerns among students and office-goers about reaching their destinations on time.
