By the blessings of Lord Shiva
We are building a Shivalayam for our village and for every devotee who seeks peace at the feet of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathi, and Lord Ganesha. Help us complete this sacred work.
Welcome
In our village of Marapaguntla, a temple of carved stone is taking shape. When complete, the Shivalayam will house the divine idols of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathi, and Lord Ganesha — a place where everyone can pray, find peace, celebrate festivals, and pass our traditions on to the generations who follow.
Sanctified idols of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathi, and Lord Ganesha, enshrined for daily worship.
A spiritual center where devotees can begin and complete their Shiva Mala Deeksha and the holy journey to Srisailam.
A gathering place for festivals, prayer, and tradition — given as service to God and to our village.
Our Story
Every pillar and panel of this temple has been shaped by hand from dark granite — rows of deities, fine carvings, and rising towers in the timeless South Indian style. The sanctum stands; the grounds and final work remain.
This Shivalayam is being built as an offering — a service to God and a gift to our community that will outlast us all.

Twice each year, many devotees of our village take up the Shiva Mala. They observe the forty-day Deeksha with devotion and discipline, then carry the Irumudi on the holy pilgrimage to Srisailam, completing their vows before Lord Mallikarjuna Swamy.
Our dream is for this Shivalayam to become the spiritual heart of that journey — the place where devotees begin their Deeksha, gather in prayer, and receive the blessings of Lord Shiva before and after their pilgrimage.
