Sanghi Temple

Sanghi Temple rises on Paramanand Giri hill with a tall Raja Gopuram tower visible from several kilometers away. The complex consists of multiple buildings connected by staircases and paved pathways that spread across the hilltop.

The complex was completed in 1991 following the initiative of industrialist B.S. Ranga Rao, who sought to replicate traditional South Indian temple architecture. The design follows the model of the Tirumala temple, a pilgrimage destination venerated for centuries.

The site honors Lord Venkateswara and houses several smaller shrines for other deities that worshippers visit during their rounds. Carvings on the walls depict scenes from mythological stories, offering visitors a visual introduction to divine narratives.

Access begins from a road about 25 kilometers from central Hyderabad that leads to a parking area at the base of the hill. Toilets and a shop selling religious items are available to visitors, making the journey and stay manageable.

The hilltop location offers a wide view over the surrounding countryside, which many visitors notice only after arrival. The replica follows the Tirumala original in proportion and detail, although it was built in a shorter timeframe.
