✦AI Summary
Former TTD board chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy has criticized the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams for failing to conduct 'Varuna Yagam' rituals to address the current lack of rain. He argues that other major temples have already performed these rituals to support the farming community.
The dearth of rain this season , attributed to El Nino , has brought pressure on the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to conduct the ‘Varuna Yagam’, a ritual meant to propitiate the rain god, Varuna.
