Hyderabad: Devotees are thronging the Bhagyalakshmi  Temple near Charminar in the Old City during the Deepavali festival season, where the distribution of the goddess’s silver coins, known as the “Khazana,” is currently underway.

The distribution began at 7 pm on Sunday, and devotees from various parts of the city and beyond have been arriving in large numbers since then. Queues of waiting devotees stretched all the way to Gulzar House.
To manage the rush and ensure devotees face no inconvenience, temple authorities have set up four queue lines. The distribution is being carried out in an orderly manner along these lines.

Devotees believe that receiving the goddess’s coin brings auspiciousness, prosperity and wealth to their households. This belief draws people to the temple every year during the festival.

The Khazana distribution programme will continue for three days, until the 11th of this month.
