The Musi Riverfront Corporation finalized the temple design. Officials will build the Omkareshwara Temple near the historic Veerabhadra Swamy Temple. The project will cost Rs. 700 crore and will cover 8 acres. A hundred-foot Galigopuram is part of the plan. Also, a hundred-foot statue of Lord Shiva will be installed on an island in the middle of the Musi River.
Musi River Project gains pace with temple construction
Meanwhile, the foundation ceremony highlighted the broader plans for the Musi River Project. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy addressed the gathering and urged public support for the river cleansing effort. He stressed the need to act quickly to reduce pollution and protect future generations.
He said, “With the blessings of God, we will cleanse the Musi river. If anyone obstructs it, the state government will perform Shiva Tanadava. We will also build a mosque, church and Gurudwara on the banks of Musi. It is going to become a great tourist destination. We will transfer 20 TMC from Godavari to Hyderabad. We will ensure that there is always water in the Musi river. There is a risk of future generations being destroyed due to pollution. Human errors should be stopped. Otherwise, future generations will suffer. We will complete this project by the end of the year,” the CM said.
However, the Chief Minister also warned about the dangers of inaction. He pointed out that pollution could harm future generations if not controlled. Therefore, he called for collective responsibility to ensure the success of the project.
The Musi River Project aims to transform the riverfront into a major tourist destination. At the same time, the government plans to improve water flow and ensure long-term sustainability. The temple construction now adds a religious and cultural dimension to the ongoing development.
