The final rites of Rebel Star Krishnam Raju are completed a few minutes back. The senior actor was accorded floral tributes and a tearful farewell. Many fans thronged to pay their last respects to the departed soul after knowing that the final rites will be performed at Moinabad farm House.
The procession started from Krishnam Raju's house at Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad at 1 PM and reached Kanakamamidi Farm House passing through Gachchibowli ORR, APPA junction, and Chevella. Krishnam Raju's wife Syamala Devi performed the rituals and pooja following which Prabhas' brother Prabodh lit the fire on the pyre.
The family members planned to perform the final rites at Jubilee Hills Mahaprasthanam but it was later shifted on the advice of the priests. The Telangana state government accorded a state funeral to Krishnam Raju and on behalf of the government, Maganti Gopinath, AP Ministers, BJP MP Etela Rajender Mohan Babu, Jagapathi Babu, and others attended the ritual.
