The
Srisailam project of Andhra Pradesh, in addition to conferring a
much-sought after boon on the agriculturists, has added another
dazzling diamond to the crown of Andhra Mata by transferring some
groups of temples from their original sites to safer and grander
spots. Finding the newly proposed project would endanger the ancient
temples lying along the course of river Krishna, the Government with
its commendable forethought and admirable humanist insight decided
to transfer these spiritual treasures - temples to safer and easily
accessible parts. And it strove hard and completed successfully this
operation and transplantation, if the medical terminology is
applied. As it is unique and unheard of, the whole world gaping,
gazed at this marvel. Kudos to the architects, whose ingenuity
blessed the theists with many old temples in new surroundings, and
what is more, built with the very self same materials used yugas
back, since their sanctity defies description. They fall into two
groups.
