The temple management announced the opening of Kanipakam Vinayaka temple in Chittoor on Saturday.

The 11th Century temple was closed in wake of the coronavirus lockdown and will now open following social distancing and other laid norms of the government.

Kanipakam Varasiddi Vinayaka Swamy Devasthanam has set up disinfectant tunnels at the entry points so that devotees can get disinfected automatically before they enter in the shrine premises.
