TELANGANA, INDIA, October 11, 2017 (Money Control): The K. Chandrasekhar Rao government in Telangana has allotted US$274 million, to develop Yadadri, a centuries-old hill temple, in a bid to build something on the lines of Tirumala’s Tirupathi temple in the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh. The temple that lies two hours away from Hyderabad is dedicated to Hindu Lion God Narasimha and is set in a scenic locale surrounded by eight hills.
The reinforced agenda for the temple layout is to establish an 11-acre complex that will consist of seven domes. This will also include a 100-foot main dome, 1,400 acre tourist facilities comprising cottages, multilevel parking, and housing for temple priests. The temple will be spread across nine hills. A special purpose team has been set up, and it will deploy 500 sculptors. The first phase of the construction has been targeted to complete by May 2018 and the entire construction has been set to conclude by 2019. No mortar or bricks are being used in the construction, and only black granite stone will be used, in line with rulers of the Kakatiya dynasty there.
