The Srisailam temple management has installed QR code-enabled boards detailing the ‘Sthala Purana’ (legend/history) of the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple at Srisailam at various locations within the temple premises for the convenience of devotees.

Srisailam temple Trust Board chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu and Executive Officer M. Srinivasa Rao said that by scanning the QR code on these boards, devotees can access information regarding the legend of Srisailam, the significance of the site, historical details and the architectural style of the temple, available in both audio (conversational) and written formats. This information is accessible in 130 different languages.

The platform uses an artificial intelligence-driven centralised technology known as ‘NIVU’ (Neural Intelligence Vernacular Unified Model) to deliver these details. These boards have been installed at approximately 60 locations throughout the temple complex.

Boards providing information about specific sites such as Sakshi Ganapati, Hatakeswaram, Phaladhara-Panchadhara, Shikhareswaram and the ‘Pancha Mathas’ (five monasteries) have also been set up at their respective locations.

Mr. Ramesh Naidu and Mr. Srinivasa Rao advised devotees to make the best use of this opportunity to learn about the significance of the sacred site, the greatness of the location and the special features of the sub-temples.
