Sri Kalahasti Raja Gopuram Collapsed

The ‘Raja Gopuram’ of famous Sri Kalahasti Temple located in Chitoor district that was built  Sri Krishna Devaraya collapsed today (26th May 2010). Before collapsing, it developed huge cracks vertically splitting the marvellous structure into two parts. There was no report of casualties as the temple authorities have erected fencing in the surroundings to avoid any untoward incident.

Some devotees who often visit the temple said that the structure has developed cracks long time ago, but the concerned authorities neglected to repair the structure in time, that’s why it developed cracks further.
