150-Ft Ardhanareeswara Statue Planned for Srisailam
A very big statue of Ardhanareeswara, which is 150 feet tall, will be built in Srisailam.
A meeting was held to discuss this and other plans for the temple.
They talked about giving clothes to the Chenchu tribal community, building new places for people to wait and park, and making the temple safer.
They also decided to fix a leaning pillar and add more security with a special police officer and a bomb squad.
All these changes are to make the temple better for the people who visit.
A 150-foot Ardhanareeswara statue will be installed in Nakshatra Vanam, Srisailam.
