Prominent businessman S V Rama Raju donated one kg gold on behalf of Jala Vihar for the cause. “Our country is known for great emperors like Ashoka for tree plantation, Rani Rudrama for developing irrigation system, Raja Raja Chola for building temples and Krishna Deva Raya for preserving culture during various historical timelines” he said.

“Our Chief Minister has done all of them in less than a decade through Haritha Haram programme, Mission Bhagiratha, renovation of temple in Yadadri and performing Maha Chandi yagam,” he said, adding: “We thank him now for making us common people be a part of this divine endeavour.”

Donors from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh are also coming forward to donate gold. Industrialist and ZPTC Chairperson M Jayamma from YSR Kadapa district decided to donate one kg gold to the temple. She described the initiative taken by Chandrashekhar Rao to reconstruct the temple as a ‘yagnam.’

She said that she along with her family members would hand over a cheque to the Chief Minister during his next visit to Yadadri. She thanked the Chief Minister for relentlessly striving for the overall development of the temple and expressed happiness for contributing to the temple development on behalf of her family.

Jayamma said that she has strong belief in Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirupati and Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple in Yadadri.
