According to mythology, Chinna Sesha is believed to be the personification of Vasuki, the king of serpents. In view of pandemic, the religious celebrations were strictly confined to the Kalyanotsava Mandapam inside the main temple complex. Prominent among others who took part in the celebrations were the senior and junior pontiffs of the hill temple, Executive Officer K.S. Dharma Reddy, Chief Vigilance and Security Officer Gopinath Jatti, and MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy. The festivities drew to a close with Hamsa Vahanam in the night.
