Donations continued pouring for the gold plating works of the gopuram of the redeveloped Yadadri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple in the new year.
The temple which was witnessing huge rush of devotees in a bid for the auspicious start on Sunday, also saw several corporates and government leaders.
Minister for Tribal Welfare Satyavati Rathod along with family members participated in special prayers. She took a tour of the completed temple and admired the construction and its expedited plans. Ms. Rathod removed her gold ornaments - bangles and neck chain – in the temple hall and offered them for the proposed gold plating works of the gopuram.
