Srijana presented silk clothes (pattu vastrams) to Goddess Jogulamba at Sri Bala Brahmeswara Swamy temple in Alampur, Telangana. The symbolic offering was conducted on Mula Nakshatram day, as part of temple festivities and rituals. Temple authorities welcomed the Collector and her entourage with the customary Purnakumbham ceremony.
Speaking to media, Dr Srijana said the offering of silk robes was made on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh government, honoring tradition and strengthening cultural ties across the states.
