The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will inspect the ancient gopuram at Nagalapuram temple in the first week of February. This follows a request from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which manages the temple. The inspection will be led by ASI Director (Epigraphy) K. Muniratnam Reddy. Located about 65 km from Tirupati, the temple is known for its historic and architectural importance. The ASI team will include two heritage experts: Satyamurthy, former Director of Archaeology, and Dhakshinamurthy, a senior ‘Stapati’ from Tamil Nadu. They will evaluate the gopuram's structural condition, style, and conservation needs according to heritage guidelines. Reports say the temple blends traditional Dravidian architecture. The team will suggest ways for technical evaluation, scientific preservation, restoration, and long-term protection. This effort shows how heritage bodies and temple administrations can work together to protect valuable religious sites.
