Srisailam temple trust board approves master plan for next 30 years and AI-based monitoring

The board of trustees for the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple in Srisailam has approved a master plan for the next 30 years and implemented AI-based monitoring for better temple administration. This comes after the Trust board, led by chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu, decided to increase the use of modern technology over the past year.

All CCTV cameras at the temple are being integrated with AI, which will help regulate devotee crowds and vehicle traffic. The master plan prioritizes facilities for ordinary devotees, including the construction of dormitories, restrooms, and vehicle parking areas. The temple will also see the development of a ₹188-crore queue complex and a Public Amenities Complex (PAC) similar to those in Tirumala.

Environmental protection and setting up spacious parking areas are also part of the plan. Additionally, works worth ₹3.20 crore are being carried out at the Kolunabharathi Ammavari Temple and other shrines adopted by the Devasthanam. The temple has also conducted 'Varuna Yagam' and 'Sahasraghatabhishekam' to address rainfall deficit and promote crop yields.
