Executive Officer Ramachandra Mohan said the development works are being executed with a long-term vision.

"The master plan is futuristic, considering increasing devotee demands, culture, and temple traditions. We are ensuring a pleasant visit to the second biggest temple in the State," EO Ramachandra Mohan said.

Temple engineering officials have expedited works on Indrakeeladri and at the foothill. Permanent elevated queue lines from Kanaka Durga Nagar to Mallikarjuna Mahamandapam, a laddu prasadam kitchen, and the Nithya Annadanam building are in the final stages.
