Accompanied by his nephew and Minister, T Harish Rao, KCR was accorded a rousing reception at the temple. After the puja, Rao sat in the temple premises and signed the papers. Women who had gathered at the shrine applied 'tilak' on Rao's forehead, which is considered auspicious. People also showered rose petals on the CM.
