The 44th annual Kalasha Jyoti procession was held at the Kanaka Durga Temple in Vijayawada, commemorating the longstanding tradition of Bhavani Deeksha.

The event was marked by chanting of hymns, devotional music, and rituals designed to invoke blessings for prosperity and well-being.
Temple authorities highlighted that the Bhavani Deeksha continues to inspire spiritual discipline and devotion among followers. The event not only strengthens religious and cultural ties but also reinforces the significance of preserving sacred traditions across generations. The Kalasha Jyoti procession remains one of the most anticipated and revered annual observances at the temple.
