The deities of Sri Radha and Krishna along with the eight gopis known as Ashtasakhis will be installed in the grand temple hall of the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower temple complex. There will be a traditional stone-carved temple with a large prakara dedicated to Sri Srinivasa Govinda, inspired by the world-renowned Sri Venkateshwara Swamy shrine in Tirumala. This Pride of Telangana project will celebrate the glorious heritage of our state and draw architectural elements from Kakatiya, Chalukya, Dravidian and other ancient styles Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa said.

The Hare Krishna Heritage Tower campus will have features like a library, museum, multi-vision theatre and BG halls for the spiritual and cultural education of children, youth and families. Various attractions integrated with the latest technologies, like holograms and laser projection, will create engaging and immersive experiences for visitors and present our rich culture and heritage in a captivating manner. There will be amenities like a grand vaidika samkara hall and piligrim guest rooms that can be utilised for large gatherings.

The project will also have elevators and ramps for senior citizens and differently-abled visitors. A spacious queuing hall will be constructed where devotees can wait comfortably to have the darshan of the Deities. A free Annadana hall (mass feeding facility) will benefit all the pilgrims.

“We are happy to announce the Bhumi Puja and Shanku Sthapana of the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower in Narsinghi by our Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao along with other dignitaries.
