Although the temple's ineffable pre-eminence has reached the devout theists living in the
four corners of the world, it needs some more effective media for establishing full rapport with the
prospective visitors. Many booklets, travel guides are available for dissemination of the splendour of
this mokshapuri in a few South Indian languages, like Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and even in English,
yet the point of satiety has not been reached. Booklets with plates and multi-coloured wrapper
would go a long way in acquainting its uniqueness, antiquity, historicity, temple traditions, festivals
and the like. With a view to filling the gap, I met the dynamic temple administrator to permit me to
write a book visualizing the multi-dimensional glory of this holy pilgrim centre and sell the copies in
the Temple Information Counter. Realising the justification of
the proposal, and its necessity, he explained that relevant departmental
procedure, like the proposal getting the approval of the Board of Trustees
first, and then sending it to the Commissioner, HRCE, Hyderabad for ratification
has to be observed.
