Mahabubnagar: Diddi Praveen Kumar, a social activist and head of the Nenu Saitam Voluntary Organization, is showing his devotion by providing essential materials for worship to 711 ancient temples and Vinayaka Pandals. This effort spans across the Mahabubnagar district, as well as parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, just in time for Vinayaka Chavithi on August 27.
He supplies 31 different items for the Vinayaka Pandals and 22 types of daily worship materials for temples. These supplies are enough to last two to three months and have reached districts like Narayanpet, Wanaparthy, Gadwal, Nagarkurnool, Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Nalgonda, Ranga Reddy, and Hyderabad.
Praveen extends his service to Andhra Pradesh, covering areas such as Kurnool, Nandyal, Kadapa, Anantapur, Chittoor, Tirupati, Prakasam, Giddalur, Vijayawada, and Guntur. In Karnataka, he targets places like Raichur, Sindhanur, and Gulbarga, focusing on temples frequented by Telugu-speaking visitors.
As part of this initiative, dress code banners are distributed to encourage traditional attire among devotees visiting temples. These banners are placed along temple roads to promote cultural respect and devotion.
Praveen funds this entire project personally, without seeking any donations. He hopes every household celebrates Vinayaka Chavithi with dedication and discipline.
Members of Nenu Saitam, including Kongara Pavan Kumar, Rainbow Srinivas, Tirumala Lakshminarayana, Priya, Satyam, Dastayya, Konduru Srihari, and Ganesh Rao, are actively involved in this program.
