Help Us Build the Divine Sree Sitha Rama Temple

Project Status Report: Sree Seetha Ramula Vari Temple Construction Project Name: Sree Seetha Ramula Vari Temple Construction & Consecration Location: Gudinarava Village, SPSR Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, India Prepared By: Temple Management Committee Date: November 2025 1. Executive Summary The Sree Seetha Ramula Vari Temple construction commenced approximately three years ago with the noble goal of establishing a permanent, dedicated place of worship for the community. While foundational work has been successfully completed (Phase I), the project is currently experiencing significant delays due to an unforeseen critical shortage of funds. The current structure has achieved pillar erection. The immediate and vital necessity is securing funds for Phase II, which includes the visible iconic structures (Gopuram and Compound Wall), essential finishing work (Tiling), and, most critically, the sacred final ceremonies: Prana Pratishta (Idol Consecration) and Dwajastambham Prathistapanam (Flagpole Installation). Immediate financial support is requested to accelerate Phase II, ensuring the temple can be completed and operational within the shortest feasible timeline. 2. Project Background and Current Status (Phase I: Completed) Detail Description Project Initiation Approximately 3 years ago (Date: Circa Late 2022) Primary Objective Construction of a dedicated, permanent temple structure for Lord Sree Rama and Mother Seetha, serving the spiritual needs of Gudinarava and surrounding communities. Current Status Slowed: Construction pace is significantly reduced due to lack of financial resources. Phase I Achievement Structural Pillars Complete: The primary supporting pillars for the main temple structure (Garbhagriha and Mandapam) have been successfully erected and cured, establishing the skeletal framework. 3. Critical Funding Scope (Phase II: Upcoming Milestones) Phase II represents the critical transition from structural foundation to a complete, consecrated place of worship. This phase is segmented into two main components: Civil Works & Finishing and Sacred Ceremonial Installations. A. Civil Works & Finishing (Physical Construction) Milestone Scope Description Significance Gopuram Construction Construction and detailing of the main temple tower (Gopuram) over the entrance. This involves intricate masonry, plastering, and ornamental sculpting. The Gopuram is the iconic spiritual and architectural gateway, signifying the temple’s sacred presence. Compound Wall Construction of a perimeter boundary wall to secure the temple premises, define the sacred space, and regulate entry/exit points. Essential for security, sanctity, and demarcating the temple land as per religious and legal requirements. Tiling & Flooring Procurement and laying of appropriate granite/marble tiles for the Garbhagriha, Mandapam, corridors, and exterior pathways. Provides essential finishing, ensuring cleanliness, durability, and a dignified aesthetic for the devotees. B. Sacred Ceremonial Installations (Final Consecration) Milestone Scope Description Significance Dwajastambham Prathistapanam Fabrication, erection, and consecration of the temple's flagpole (Dwajastambham) in the designated location. The Dwajastambham is the symbolic axis mundi, vital for all temple festivals and signaling the presence of the deity. Prana Pratishta of Lord Rama and Seetha The most significant ceremony involving the ritualistic installation and infusion of life (Prana) into the main deity idols. Requires specialized priests, materials, and extensive organizational planning. The final and most crucial step. It transforms the structure into a consecrated, living temple, allowing devotees to receive blessings. 4. Financial Appeal and Transparency The current delay is solely attributable to the gap in project financing. Securing the necessary funds for Phase II is now a time-sensitive requirement, particularly to schedule and execute the Prana Pratishta ceremony, which requires advance planning. Purpose Requirement Notes Phase II: Construction Funding for Gopuram, Compound Wall, Tiling, and Finishing materials/labour. The largest budget component, covering all physical works. Phase II: Ceremonies Funding for Prana Pratishta and Dwajastambham Prathistapanam (Priests, Ritual Materials, Yagnas). Essential fixed cost for the spiritual activation of the temple. Trust Management All funds are managed by the officially registered Temple Trust Account. Donations are audited and channeled directly to construction and ceremonial costs. Ensures complete financial transparency and legal compliance with the Andhra Pradesh State requirements. Special Recognition: Donors contributing ₹20,000 or more will have their names permanently carved on the temple stone, recognizing their foundational role in the establishment of this sacred site. 5. Conclusion and Impact The completion of the Sree Seetha Ramula Vari Temple is not merely a construction project; it is the establishment of a vital center for spiritual practice, Annadanam, social service, and cultural preservation for the Gudinarava community. We urge all devotees, community leaders, and philanthropic organizations to review this critical status and provide immediate, generous financial assistance to ensure the swift transition to Phase II. Your support will directly result in the consecration of the deities and the timely inauguration of the temple. We look forward to sharing the blessings of the Prana Pratishta with you.
