Ratnalayam Temple
What was once upon a time a farm is now transformed into a place of worship . RATNALAYAM is the result of hours and days and weeks and years of constant hardwork and dedication of Mr .T.R.Venkatesh and Mrs.T.Rama Devi.Thanks to the devotion and tiresome labour of all the people involved in this project from laying the foundation stone to the completion of this exquisite structure in a picturesque location.Mr.T.R.Venkatesh started it out wanting it to be a small temple for the family,but with the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara it came out to be the stunning replica recreated in the form of Tirumala Lord Venkateshwara. His dream which began with a spark turned out to be a fire which gave light to all those who believe in Lord Venkateshwara .

It is a dream come true, an example of belief in oneself, an outstanding marvel to experience the presence of Lord Venkateshwara as never before.The idea of constructing RATNALAYAMwas conceived and nurtured in course of time by Mrs & Mr.T.R.Venkatesh in the memory of his father Late T.P.Rathnaiah with their strong social commitments,devotion and dedication.Their motto is to help the underpriviledged people.The thought that there are many people who cannot afford to go to Tirumala to worship Lord Venkateshwara lead to the construction of this eye capturing temple.T.R.Venkatesh and T.Rama,the duo have combined and have enabled people’s dream come true with their hardwork,relentless efforts and trust in each other.The temple follows the basics and rituals of Tirumala.

The Bhoomi pooja of the temple was held on the 26th of April,2001 by Sri Tripurananda Swamy.The idols have been made by the famous sculptor Ganapathi Sthapathy which have been brought all the way from Kanchipuram.The temple’s magnificent architecture was designed and executed by Mr.M.Shankar(B.Arch).

After 22months of the Bhoomi pooja this holy place of Lord Venkateshwara,Godess Padmavathi and Andalu Devi,Lord Hanuman,Lord Ganesh and Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parmeshwari took its enormous shape and came into exsistence on the 19th of February 2003 when Sri Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamiji completed the prathishta of the idols with the blessings of Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.The prathishta was completed after a week long poojas which were performed by Late Sri Mudumbai Ramanujacharya Swamiji and Late Sri Chandramouli Guruswamiji as per the divine religious rites of Aagaman Shastram,Pancharatra.

RATNALAYAM!!! The superb scienic beauty and splendour of this place is the centre of attraction for many devotees and lovers of nature as the temple is fully landscaped with beautiful gardens and the Shanku,Namam and Chakram which are very significant to the Lord is structured in the form of a fountain giving a celestial look . A fountain depicting the divine scene of Lord Vishnu resting on Adishesha with his wives adds beauty and glory to the temple. The temple facilitates Yagashala, Kalyana Katta,Pravachanam Hall,lawns for resting,cafeteria,huge parking facility and play pen for children. Above all the temple is located in a peaceful atmosphere which inculcates true devotion among the people.

Speaking about the architectural magnificence of the structure,it is vast and spread over an area of 5acres.RATNALAYAM stands on the Rajiv Gandhi Highway,Aliabad which is 25kms from secunderabad.There is also a home for the aged in the vicinity of the temple.

Every month the Abhishekam and Kalyanam of Lord Venkateshwara is held on the Shravana Nakshatram,Abhishekam of Abhaya Ganapathi on Shuddha Chavithi,Anjaneya Swamy on Purva Bhadra and Vasavi Kanyaka Parmeshwari on Pournami and Satyanarayana Vratham on the same day.

Every year the temple has been celebrating its Brahmotsavams grandly. RATNALAYAM provides an opportunity to people who cannot go to Tirumala to worship Lord Venkateshwara during the Brahmotsavams and help them realize this dream of theirs,to witness the poojas and participate in them as well because they are held at the same time as in Tirumala.It is a lifetime experience.

In this world of materialistic life, the human thought and fruitful concept of RATNALAYAM is a splendid torch,which we, as a family have got to hold and make it glow as brightly as possible.We thank all the devotees for their cooperation and devotion in making this temple a clean and sacred place of worship.
