ttd astrologer instructed panchangamTirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) astrologer Tangirala Purna Prasad had instructed the state government to begin the works of the new capital before July end as there are no auspicious days after July. He put up this advice in the customary ‘Panchanga Sravanam’ (almanac) on the Telugu New Year Ugadi.

Tangirala also predicted that the state government will have to swim in troubled waters between July and December but assured that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu with his efficiency will steer out of the trouble. He predicted that the state (particularly industrial development) will start progress from December.

Regarding the capital, he praised the location as it is between two ancient temples of Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy atop Indrakeeladri in Vijayawada, and Sri Trikoteswara Swamy of Kotappakonda near Narasaraopet in Guntur district. However he disappointed every one by saying that he is not sure when it will be completed.
