The Hindu:
Vijayawada’s Kanaka Durga temple will reserve all queue lines for free darshan on October 16, cancelling protocol and recommendation-based visits
Temple officials say the change is intended to prioritise ordinary devotees when lakhs are expected for Moola Nakshatram. Visitors will view the Goddess from the Mukha Mandapam; private vehicles will also be barred from Indrakeeladri that day.
