Hyderabad:
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today inaugurated the renovated temple of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy in Yadadri. Along with his cabinet and family members, he participated in special ‘pujas’ at the temple.
“Attended and prayed at Maha Samprokshana Yagam at #Yadadri. CM KCR Garu has opened the doors for a enchanting spiritual journey and pilgrimage. #Yadadri will be a landmark of spiritual journey and architectural work across the Globe,” ruling TRS MLC K Kavitha, daughter of the KCR, tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was going to attend the inauguration event. But the plan was shelved due to the growing political distance between PM Modi and KCR.
The temple, which is 65 km from the state capital Hyderabad, was renovated using black granite. Over 4,000 sculptors worked on the project which cost over ₹ 1,800 crore.
