Telanagana Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao’s decision to develop Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy Devasthanam which is also called as “Dakshin Kashi” is welcomed by all sections of society. 

The Chief Minister visited the temple and offered special prayers to the presiding deities along with his family members on Thursday. He inspected the shrine along with the district and temple officials and went around the holy tank, temple tank and other lands belonging to the temple.

Later at a review meeting with the district officials, the Chief Minister announced release of Rs. 100 crore every year for development of the shrine. He also announced constitution of Vemulawada Temple Authority very soon for providing all pilgrim amenities. The CM said the suggestions of Shringeri and Kanchi Kamakoti Peethams would be taken for development of the temple.
