The Jagtial district administration is building a special 6-km walking path around the Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Kondagattu.
This path, called Giri Pradakshina, is meant to give devotees a spiritual experience similar to other famous shrines.

Important leaders and officials are working together to make this happen.
The goal is to make Kondagattu a big place for people who want to go on this sacred walk.
The forest department is also helping by allowing part of the path to be built in a forest area.
A music system playing devotional songs will also be installed along the path.
