The Srisailam temple management will offer free 'sparsha darshan' to local Chenchu tribals on Vaikunta Ekadasi, starting December 30. Chenchus, who hold a special historical and traditional connection to the temple, considering the deities as family, will enter through a designated queue from 11 a.m. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to include the Chenchu community in temple festivals and rituals, with assistance from the local ITDA for identification.
