EO Peddiraju emphasized the significance of adorning a dot on the forehead as a symbol of orthodox tradition and cultural uniqueness. He personally demonstrated the Vibhuti Tilak Darana, inviting devotees to partake in this sacred ritual before entering the temple.

The temple authorities, recognizing the importance of preserving cultural heritage, have reintroduced the Vibhutidharana initiative to raise awareness and ensure that all visitors don the forehead mark as a tribute to tradition.
