An appeal from management
For the convenience of all devotees at the time of their visit to the temple during annasantharpana, marriage ceremony and other cultural events, the temple management has decided to build a Multi-Utility Dining and programme hall at a cost of Rs. 3 crores. This building will be used by the devotees coming from far places. In this regard, the temple management would like to appeal to all the devotees to generously contribute to this project through donations or any other way possible.
