The Srisailam Temple Devasthanam on Monday (December 01, 2025) launched a series of development initiatives across the hill shrine. Devasthanam trust board Chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu, Executive Officer M. Srinivasa Rao, board members, and temple officials took part in the events.
The members took part in the ground-breaking ceremony for the modernisation of Sri Gokulam, with the funds from a Hyderabad-based donor, under the guidance of the Vedic Committee, Engineering Wing and Temple Stapathi.
At Gangadhara Mandapam, authorities inaugurated a new donation reception centre aimed at streamlining offerings to various temple schemes. Executive Officer Srinivasa Rao said that the devotees can donate to schemes such as “annadanam”, “gosamrakshana” and the “Pranadana Trust”, adding that donors offering ₹50,000 and above would receive facilities as per norms.
The temple management also rolled out free laddu prasadam for Sparsha Darshan and Atisheegra Darshan ticket-holders. Sparsha Darshan devotees will receive two laddus, while Atisheegra Darshan devotees will get one laddu at counters nine and ten.
The authorities also inaugurated Kailasa Kankana sales counter set up behind the temple of Goddess Bramarambika Devi on the premises of the main complex, enabling devotees to purchase the sacred wristbands immediately after darshan.
Chairman Ramesh Naidu said that the initiatives were aimed at enhancing devotee convenience while strengthening temple infrastructure, adding that the new donation centre and prasadam measures were part of a broader plan to improve transparency and accessibility in temple services.
