Telangana will add another feather to its cap with the world's first 3D-printed temple. The complex will be built in collaboration between a Hyderabad-based construction company Apsuja Infratech and Simpliforge Creations. The three-part structure is being built in an area of 3,800 square feet within Charvitha Meadows, a gated villa community at Burugupally in Siddipet district, according to news agency PTI. The news comes a day before Telangana celebrates its formation day. It became India's 29th state on June 2, 2014, after being carved out of Andhra Pradesh.
The 3D technology that will be used to construct the temple will utilise indigenously developed material and software.
According to Apsuja Infratech Managing Director Hari Krishna Jeedipalli, the temple will have three sanctums, or garbhas, shaped like 'modak' (a sweet dumping dedicated to Lord Ganesha), a square abode devoted to Lord Shiva (shivalay) and a Lotus-shaped home for Goddess Parvati.
"With the Shivalay and the modak completed, phase II comprising the Lotus and the tall spires (gopurams) are underway," Mr Jeedipalli told PTI.
