The management of the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple in Srisailam has decided to publish the details of the inscriptions found in the temple precincts and deciphered by the Archaeological Survey of India, Mysuru.

The Trust Board of the temple led by chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu and Executive Officer M. Srinivasa Rao took the decision at a meeting.

During the reconstruction of ‘Ghanta Matam,’ the most ancient of the ‘pancha matams’ (five monasteries) in the temple, the officials discovered copper inscriptions. “These inscriptions were deciphered by the ASI in Mysuru, and we have decided to publish the details of these inscriptions in the form of a book,” they said.

It was also decided to reprint ‘Srisaila Khandam,’ ‘Srisaila Stotra Kadambam,’ and ‘Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Puja Vidhanam’ (from Srisaila Khandam) as part of the publication of spiritual literature.

Regarding basic amenities for ordinary devotees, the trust board held discussions on the construction of a queue complex, an amenities complex, and the installation of additional restrooms within the temple premises.

The other decisions include installation of high-mast tower lighting in the parking areas and open spaces within the temple precincts. A resolution was passed to invite tenders for the procurement of medicines, injections, and laboratory equipment required for the free medical centre managed by the temple through the e-procurement process.

It was resolved to install octagonal electric poles, ring brackets, and LED lights at various locations within the temple premises, including the stretch from the Nandi Mandapam to the RTC bus stand, from the locker shed to the Gangadhara Mandapam, and at the bus stand junction.

A decision was made to install bunk beds in the Ganesh Sadan and Mallikarjuna Sadan dormitories and to undertake necessary maintenance and repairs at various facilities constructed by the temple management for the convenience of devotees, such as cottages, guest houses, accommodation complexes, the main temple, dormitories, and the queue complex, as needed. It was also decided to provide electric vehicle charging facilities at suitable locations within the temple town.
