Hari Mukund Panda

Hari Mukund Panda is the founder of the Venkateswara Swami Temple in Kasibugga, Srikakulam district, which opened to devotees approximately four months ago. The temple, designed as a replica of the famous Tirumala temple, became the site of a tragic stampede during the auspicious day of Ekadashi, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. Panda expressed his sorrow over the incident, noting that he did not anticipate such a large turnout of devotees.
