Accommodation facility will be available for 1,500 devotees at the tower. The construction will be undertaken using cutting-edge technology with the skill of the Kakatiyas to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of Telangana. Additionally, the tower will have an Annadanam hall, where 500 visiting devotees will be served food at one time.
The temple structures will include a library, Kalyanai Auditorium, IMAX open air theatres, lecture halls, Q complex, and guest rooms. Technologically advanced laser shows will be arranged to help youth understand the history of Lord Krishna along with his teachings.
Chief Minister KCR described temples as community centers that connect people of all religions. He emphasized that religious ignorance and fanaticism is a threat to society and there is no place for violence in any religion. KCR termed Hare Krishna’s support to the Telangana government as commendable, citing the Akshaya Patra program’s efforts to supply meals through Annapoorna to school children and provide food for the poor in Hyderabad.
