Special and rather unusual prayers were offered this morning on the banks of the Gandipet lake (which by the way is now filled to the brim).
Prayers were offered to thank God for blessing the city and state with copious rains - and also to ask Him to stop any further rains.
With the IMD warning about possible heavy downpours on Wednesday and Thursday, too, the people were worried about further havoc, and on behalf of the citizens the priests thanked Chilkur Balaji for preventing further rains and giving the citizens respite.
The priests prayed for a respite from Covid-19, too.
