A ritual performed for 23 months for the success of Chief Minister Y.S. Sri Maharudra Satha Dwisahasra Chandi Yagam that began on July 29, 2017, was closed with a ‘purnahuti’ performed by Mr. Jagan who took time off to perform the rituals in the fields outside Tadepalli village where the Chief Minister resides. The Chief Minister then felicitated the ‘ritwiks’ who performed the yagam with silk shawls and gold bracelets for their efforts. The organisers of the yagam, speaking to the media later, said that the yagam was performed for the victory of Mr. Jagan and also the prosperity of Andhra Pradesh people who were facing so many challenges. Starting with the Panchanga Sravanam on Ugadi Day, astrologers and archakas have been predicting Mr. Jagan’s victory.
