‘World-class spiritual destination’, ‘Telangana’s Tirumala’, ‘dream project of CM KCR’ were some of the epithets used to describe Yadadri Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, but all that fell flat following a two-hour sudden and heavy downpour last week.
The 83.5 mm rainfall recorded in Yadagirigutta on Wednesday, as per official figures, exposed the fragile conditions at the temple, the infrastructure built around it, and to a greater extent, triggered anger of locals and devotees alike.
