Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan laid the foundation stone for a choultry and other buildings at the renowned Lord Hanuman temple here on Saturday.
The buildings will be constructed at Rs 35.19 crore, funded by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which administers the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati. According to a press release, the TTD sanctioned the funds for the project following Kalyan’s intervention. During his visit to the Kondagattu temple in 2024, temple officials and priests had informed Kalyan about the need for a choultry and a separate building where devotees observing ‘Hanuman Deeksha’—a devotional vow—could perform concluding rituals.
Accompanied by TTD Chairman B R Naidu and others, Kalyan arrived by helicopter earlier in the day to lay the foundation stone for a 96-room accommodation facility and other buildings at the temple.
