The priest would be giving you the direction after everyone gets seated. He would give instruction step by step to perform Rahu Ketu pooja. Owing to the huge crowd (more than 5000 people) the priest would use a speaker so that people sitting in long distance can also hear and follow the rituals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Srikalahasti, Rahu Ketu pooja instructions are given in Telugu, Tamil and English. There would be a support team nearby so that you can ask them about the procedure in case if you missed some of the instructions of pooja.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completion of pooja, you will have to take the small silver idols of snake and drop it in Hundi (a big box where devotees offer money and other valuables to Lord).
