Yadadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in the state of Telangana is dedicated to the Shri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami.
After more than five years of renovation and reconstruction, Telangana’s Yadadri temple has transformed from a small hill shrine into a magnificent and sprawling pilgrimage centre and an architectural marvel with it located about 60 km from Hyderabad in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district.
Authorities have not used conventional materials such as cement, bricks and concrete in the project with only lime and mortar inducted for the temple works as per heritage norms. It is said to be the only temple in India which has been built with Krishna Shila (black stone) and 2.5 lakh tonnes of black stone was sourced from Prakasam and Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh for sculptors and other works.
Every day, about 1,500 workers, including 800 sculptors, from different places including Allagadda, Karimnagar and Tamil Nadu worked on the project with the temple’s chief architect Anand Sai visiting several temples across South India before making a final plan. According to him, seven gopurams are inspired by Srirangam temple of Tiruchirapalli and the gold plating of Vimana Gopuram or the main Gopuram at the temple has been inspired by Tirumala temple which requires 125 kg gold.
The Rajagopuram or the pyramidal structure at the temple entrance is seven-storey high and is made of stones weighing 13,000 tonnes.
The Telangana government is planning to spend Rs 2,000 crore on the Yadadri temple project out of which 1000 crore has been spent on it. The budget which was decided is more than that of the Ram Temple made in Ayodhya.
The renovated temple is now a 17-acre, three-storey temple with seven gopurams and sculptures while the overall project is spread over 2,000 acres which can accommodate over 1,00,000 devotees.
From the month of March, devotees will be allowed to visit the garbhagriha. The Yadadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple will be open for devotees from 28th March 2022.
The magnificent temple of the Shri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami is all set with its beautiful infrastructure to welcome you now. The temple is situated on a hill, which is 512 feet high. After getting separated from Andhra Pradesh the government of Telangana planned to build this temple there. This temple is listed among the most expensive temples in India.
