On Wednesday, the deity’s Rathotsavam will be held, and traffic will be diverted away from the roads around the temple.

Traffic will be restricted on the entire route.
Heavy traffic congestion is expected on roads leading to the temple due to the large number of devotees visiting the temple for the Kalyanam. Authorities advised motorists to avoid the area where possible and use alternative routes to prevent delays.
