The Sangameswara Temple in Kurnool district has emerged six months earlier than its usual appearance. This early visibility is a direct result of reduced water levels in the Krishna River.
Typically, the Sangameswara Temple, located at the confluence of seven rivers, becomes visible only when the Krishna River's water recedes during the peak summer months. Its appearance in October raises concerns about water scarcity.
While many deities are enshrined along the banks of the Krishna River and receive regular worship, the visibility of the Sangameswara Temple is uniquely dependent on the river's flow.
This situation suggests that drought-like conditions are setting in prematurely along the Krishna basin. There are apprehensions that water shortages could intensify in the coming months.
