Tirupati: The restoration work on the roof of the historic Srikalahasteeswara Swamy Temple has been successfully completed using traditional methods. Spanning an area of 60,000 square feet, this restoration project aimed to prevent rainwater leakage by employing ancient and eco-friendly techniques.

The MP emphasised that this prestigious project played a crucial role in preserving the temple’s sacred traditions and is expected to last for approximately 500 years.
