Hyderabad is set to welcome another spiritual edifice under the auspices of the Hare Krishna movement: the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower.
Located in Kokapet, this heritage tower is being constructed over a six-acre area with a budget exceeding ₹200 crores.
Recently, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy laid the foundation and performed the inaugural ceremonies for this spiritual building.
Once completed, this 430-foot-tall tower will be among the tallest structures in the country and is expected to become a major attraction in Hyderabad.
The specialties of this Heritage Tower include a temple mandapam that will house the idols of Radha-Krishna along with eight main gopikas.
A temple resembling the grand enclosures of Tirumala dedicated to Lord Srinivasa is also planned within the complex.
The temple dedicated to Lord Srinivasa Govinda is being intricately carved out of stone, reflecting the architectural culture of ancient temple structures.
Envisioned as the Pride of Telangana, this Heritage Tower will embody architectural styles from the Kakatiya, Chalukya, and Dravidian eras.
The tower will also feature a museum, library, and other modern facilities like temples, holograms, and laser projectors to enhance spiritual awareness among visitors.
A free meal center is also planned to be established within the tower to serve the elderly and disabled, complete with elevators and ramps, as well as a queue hall for devotees waiting for darshan.
The inauguration of the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower is set to transform the area into a spiritual and commercial hub, providing employment opportunities to many local small business owners.
The Telangana government has contributed ₹25 crores towards the construction of the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower, which is expected to be completed by 2028.
