Ancient temples turn garage dump yards in Krishna Guntur

Vijayawada | Thursday | 6th September, 2018

Summary:

Temples like Venkateswara Temple situated atop a hill in Vykuntapuram village in Guntur hold an aesthetic view of Krishna River. The endowments department barely allocated funds towards the temples situated in backward rural areas and lack of awareness makes temples like Venugopala Swamy in Movva, Krishna district endangered monuments.In Guntur district, the endowment department was notified about seven temples requiring restoration across Guntur district. Aligning the Krishna river, there are 76 holy shrines of different avatars of Lord Vishnu under the ambit of endowments department. In Tangeda village, people have been misusing Dwikuta Temple for parking their tractors and using it as a dump yard. Many of them don’t generate revenue even a decimal of Kanaka Durga temple, let alone the majestic Tirupati..
