| dc.description | Located in Alwal, near Alwal Municipal Office, the temple was built by Maharaja Chandulal, the Nizam’s diwan between 1823-43. The temple is built in a walled courtyard entered through a large teak door. The sanctum sanctorum—gold plated from ground to the top-- contains a silver idol of Balaji Lord Venkateshwara. The temple enclosure is surmounted by a gopuram, about 40 feet high. The temple is studded with huge brass plates on the outside, each depicting a mythological figure in relief. Some of the plates measure nearly 6 feet X 6 feet. | en_US |
