Rajahmundry :

Probably for the first time in its history, Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Temple at Annavaram has set a record of sorts through sale of over 12.5 lakh laddus within nine days from July 14 to 22.

Thanks to the ongoing Godavari Maha Pushkarams, the temple is receiving an unprecedented rush of devotees for the past 10 days.

Through the sale of laddu packets, which cost Rs 10 each, the Annavaram Temple raked in Rs 1.25 crore.

On Wednesday itself, about 90,000 devotees had darshan of Lord Sri Satyanarayana Swamy at Annavaram. Like the ‘Tirumala laddu’ of Lord Venkateswara, the prasadam of Sri Satyanarayana Swamy is also popular among devotees.
