You may visit any corner of the
world, to notice that temple is such a place where the whole

equality and with a pure mind.

With the aim of creating equality
and understanding, Respected Chief venerable Swamiji Shri
Dharacharyaji brought forward the idea to create Shri.
Vyankatesh Temple. On 9th April 1963 the building of
the temple started and in 1968 the huge, beautiful and exciting
in itself such a temple was made. After looking at this temple
one feels like visiting all the four pilgrim place at once.
In the crowded place like Itwari,
the temple gives relief by its pleasant look of the fountain, to
the tired people. It makes the people feel pleasant and
cheerful. In other words the surrounding of the temple gives the
people a devotional, worshipping, peaceful and happy
environment.

The statue of the God Vyankatesh
stands before us with unimaginable beauty. It is made of black
stone and is decorated with beautiful gold ornaments. Below this
main idol there are three festival statues which are purely made
of gold. These idols have been specially made by skilled artist
from Chennai. The main idol of God Vyankatesh had been brought
from South India. The entrance gate of this temple has been
decorated by Silver foil. Also at the top of the entrance gate
many idols of Gods & Goddesses are beautifully carved. The
specialty or importance of this temple is that the Vidarbhians
consider this idol to be that of Tirupati Balaji. That is the
reason why many devotees have faith.
