SRI VENKATESWARA TEMPLE –<br />

ARTIST’S CONCEPTION


MERITS OF BUILDING A<br />

TEMPLE<br />

“He who attempts to erect <strong>temple</strong>s for Gods is<br />

freed from the sins <strong>of</strong> a thousand births… Those<br />

who approve <strong>of</strong> a man's building a <strong>temple</strong> for<br />

Krishna go to the region <strong>of</strong> Achyuta [Vishnu],<br />

freed from sins. Having desired to build a <strong>temple</strong><br />

for Hari, a man immediately takes a million <strong>of</strong> his<br />

generations, past and future, to the region <strong>of</strong><br />

Vishnu.” –Agni Purana
