Temples near Juthada
Named places of worship on record
The principal temple recorded for Pendurthi mandal is Sriranganadhaswamy Narayaneswara Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Juthada itself.
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.
Visakhapatnam's immersions run to the sea at the RK Beach stretch rather than to a tank, and the district administration posts lifeguards and marks the permitted entry points for the main Nimajjanam days.
By population, Juthada ranks #17 of 17 villages in Pendurthi mandal — the smallest.
