Cement Bags Stored Inside Ancient Temple · deccanchronicle.com

A very old temple called the Veerabhadra Swamy temple sits on a hill called Mettuguda, near Kazipet in Warangal.

Right now, there is no idol of any god installed inside the temple.

Instead, bags of cement and other building materials are being stored inside it.

Some people who visit the area are sad about this situation.

They say the historic temple is being neglected and not taken care of.

The temple is located within the premises of another famous temple, the Sri Metta Ramalingeswara Swamy temple, which many devotees visit every day.

Visitors say the old temple should be restored and preserved, not used like a storage room.

They also want the construction material removed and the walls protected from further damage.

The temple is old and shows an old style of building, so people think it is important to save it for the future.
