The main entrance of the historic Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam is all set for a makeover. Work on decorating the main gateway with brass sheets is progressing in full swing, said temple deputy executive engineer V. Ravinder.
A reputed cement company has volunteered to bear the entire expenditure of the brass sheet embossing work to give a “gleaming look” to the entrance leading to the sanctum sanctorum , temple sources said.
Temple authorities have roped in artisans specialised in metal craft from Pembarthi of Jangaon district and Bhimavaram in Andhra Pradesh to carry out the intricate work.
