The transit of Saturn from one Zodiac sign to another is observed as Sanipeyarchi festival and is held once in two-and-ahalf years. The previous Sanipeyarchi was held in 2014. Speaking at the meeting, the Chief Minister said the government wanted to ensure that ordinary pilgrims thronging the town did not face any difficulty. 

He also enquired about arrangements for transportation, sanitation, drinking water, food availability, accommodation, queue patterns, facilities for holy dip at the temple tanks, security, public safety, traffic regulation, parking, emergency preparedness, mobile hospitals and rescue teams among others.
