Vemulawada Rajarajeshwara Temple
Shaiva pilgrimage; "Hari Hara Kshetra".
Vinayaka Chavithi falls on Monday, 14 September 2026 across Karimnagar district and the rest of Telangana.
Called Vinayaka Chavithi. Clay idols, the 21-leaf puja and undrallu are central. Community mandapams run for days, the Khairatabad idol in Hyderabad being the largest and drawing the biggest immersion procession.
The regional form observed across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
The idol is kept for one and a half, three, five, seven days or until Anant Chaturdashi — it is a family custom rather than a rule, and community mandapams usually keep it longest.
| Kept for | Immersion | |
|---|---|---|
| One and a half days | Tue, 15 September | |
| Three days | Thu, 17 September | |
| Five days | Sat, 19 September | |
| Seven days | Mon, 21 September | |
| Anant Chaturdashi | Wed, 23 September | The day most community mandapams immerse |
Many gram panchayats and municipalities set aside a pond or a marked stretch of tank for immersion. Ask at the panchayat office — it changes year to year, and a drinking-water tank or a farm pond is not an alternative.
A clay idol breaks down in water within hours. Plaster of Paris does not, and the paints carry heavy metals, so idols accumulate in tanks and rivers after immersion. Pollution control boards in most states now ask for clay for exactly this reason.
Immersion points get crowded and the bank is slippery after the monsoon. Children go into the water at these gatherings every year. Keep one person watching the water rather than the procession.
Thermocol, plastic sheeting, cloth and metal ornaments do not belong in the tank even when the idol itself is clay. Most organised immersion points now have a collection bin at the bank for them.
Karimnagar — Telangana, 16 ਮੰਡਲ, 269 ਪਿੰਡ (Karimnagar town). ਆਬਾਦੀ: 10.05 Lakh (ਜਨਗਣਨਾ 2011) · 2,128 km².
Karimnagar sits on the banks of the Manair, a tributary of the Godavari, in the north-central part of Telangana. The town's name comes from Karim-ud-Din, a 17th-century Qutb Shahi commander; before that, the area was known as Sabbinadu in the Kakatiya period and was famous for granite quarries that still ship stone across South India today.
Agriculture is the heart of the district. Rice, cotton, maize, and turmeric come off these fields in volumes that earn it the local title of "granary of north Telangana." The Lower Manair Dam, completed in 1985, irrigates over 1.5 lakh acres across the district. Outside the agrarian economy, Karimnagar is known for its silver filigree work (a GI-tagged craft) and its powerloom weaving cluster in Sirsilla just to the north-west.
Politically, Karimnagar is a Lok Sabha constituency that has historically swung between major national parties; current MP is from the BRS. The district was reorganised in October 2016 — the previous larger Karimnagar district was split into Karimnagar, Jagtial, Peddapalli, and Rajanna Sircilla.
