Kurnool: Subudhendra Theerthulu, the president of Raghavendra Swamy Mutt, has announced plans for an airport in Mantralayam to accommodate the growing number of devotees visiting the sacred site. He emphasised that the new airport will enhance the convenience of pilgrims coming from all over the country for Swamy’s darshan.
As part of the 12th anniversary celebrations of Chaturmasya Deeksha, a Tulabharam ceremony was held on Tuesday night in front of the Vinayaka mandapam along the Madhwa Marg Corridor. Plans are also in motion to extend the Madhwa Marg, connecting it from the main entrance of the Mutt to the Panchayat office in the north and the Raghavendra intersection in the south.
Additionally, Theerthulu revealed that discussions with both central and state officials are underway to establish a railway line from Tungabhadra railway station, passing through Mantralayam, further boosting accessibility for devotees.
