HYDERABAD: On the lines of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust collecting donations for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya, donations will be collected from all 12,769 grama panchayats for Bangaru Tapadam (gold plating) the 'Vimana Gopuram' of the renovated Yadagirigutta Sri Laskhmi Narasimha Swamy (Yadadri) temple, which will be thrown open to devotees for darshan on March 28, 2022. 

Immediately after Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced that donations would be collected for purchasing the gold, a large number of people came forward and offered donations of one kg gold each. 

The reopening of Yadadri temple will start with 'Ankurarpana' on March 21, by holding a 'Maha Sudarshana Yagam'. The main temple will open for devotees almost six years after it was closed in April 2016.

"As it is an existing temple and being reopened after renovation, Maha Kumbha Samproksha, an event to mark the same, will be conducted on March 28," he said.
