hanuman temple in vishnalayam in kavali

The ancient Hanuman temple, which was built hundreds of years back in Vishnalayam, was in need of renovation. Family funds were provided for Rs 50000 and Krupakar contributed Rs 50000 in memory of SVSR.Durga bhattiprolu, Vidya Madhuri also promised some money. There were other major donors who gave 1 lakh each. I advised Poojari garu to accept even Rs1o offered by devotees.The work was started on Feb 16th 2011. It was supposed to be the most auspicious day for the whole year. The coincidence is that it was marriage day of SSK and DMR and the same Muhurtam was fixed by doctors at Bombay for the delivery of Raghav Subbarao.In fact the Singampalli folks in the temple has to leave as they had “purudu” after 10-13am.Durga and my self were not fortunate enough to be present at that time, because Durga was not fit enough to travel after continuous fever for a month.Sankhu Stapana was done on 5th march, 2011. Gold and Silver along with Navatatnams were put in the pit. We hope to finish it in 2or 3 months.The temple is being built in the same place with almost same measurements.Dhruvamurthy or Mulavirat (Main Deity) is now resting in paddy and he will be reinstalled after the completion of the construction. The Garbha Gudi (Sanctum Sanctorum) will be covered with stone slabs which are being procured from a village near Chilakaluripeta.13 slabs will be used in 3 tiers and inner part will get the shape of Padmam (lotus).Other parts like MukhaMantapam will be built with RCC slab.Aadhara Peetham the stone on which deity will be fixed and SomaTheertham from where Abisheka Theertham will be collected are also being brought from there with measurements fixed by Agama Sasthras. Some experienced silpis from Rajahmundry are doing this work. Whole work is being done under the guidance of Agama Pandits of TTD.
