Nekkonda Temple - Introduction

This blog is created to maintain a central place to save all the discussions, ideas, etc. regarding rebuilding Nekkonda temple.Nekkonda is a small remote village in Mahbub Nagar District of Andhra Pradesh, India.

There is a very old Venkateshwara Swamy temple at Nekkonda and the temple was formed around a huge stone block on which Lord Venkateshwara's murthy is formed.While the temple is very old and kind of abandoned, the Deity is very powerful and continues to take care of the devotees. Our family is one of such devotees with an aim to rebuild and/or remodel the temple.A separate trust is created in 2007 to initiate formal effort to rebuild/remodel the temple. Temple is on the bank of a creek that joins Krishna River, and thus the water availability is not a major problem.The purpose of this blog is to list, discuss, and finally prepare a project plan for temple rebuilding and remodeling of Nekkonda temple. The discussion includes not only the temple building issues, but also issues related to how to make the temple a self-sustaining body.
