Similarly, a resident of the village tried to grab the temple land by digging the land to construct concrete pillars for the construction of a house. The temple staff with the cooperation from the local police stopped both the encroachments.

There were several orders by the courts that the entire land in Purushothapatnam village belongs to Bhadradri temple. The AP High Court has recently ordered to remove all the encroachments in the temple lands, said the officials.
