Across India, our nation's rich cultural heritage is reflected in the countless ancient temples and architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. However, many of these priceless pieces of our history are now in urgent need of restoration and care.
The Trayo Foundation is proud to announce our latest campaign focused on the restoration of the centuries-old Sri Venugopala & Anjaneya Swami temple in the village of Chavali, Andhra Pradesh has stood as a sacred spiritual landmark and an architectural masterpiece. Built in 1581 by the village leader Agu Sri, 6,000 Niyogi Brahmins, and Sri Chavali Krishnaraju Garu, this holy site has been revered for generations.
The temple was originally constructed with the devoted belief that by performing regular worship to the deities Venugopala (an avatar of Lord Krishna) and Lord Anjaneya, the local community would be blessed with prosperity, fertility, longevity and the fulfillment of their heartfelt wishes. For 440 years, it has served as a spiritual anchor for Chavali, following the ancient traditions laid out in the Vaisakhana Agama scripture.
However, the ravages of time have taken their toll on this historic temple. The intricate stone carvings, sculptures, paintings and very foundations are now in dire need of restoration and repairs to preserve this irreplaceable piece of Andhra Pradesh's cultural heritage.
That is why the Trayo Foundation has launched a campaign to fully renovate and restore the Sri Venugopala & Anjaneya Swami temple. This painstaking process will involve:
- Repairing weather damage and structural deterioration
- Reinforcing and stabilizing the temple's foundations
- Cleaning and repairing the ornate stone sculptures and artworks
- Conserving the painted murals and artwork adorning the walls
- Ensuring the temple remains accessible for worship and visitors
We cannot allow the years to continue eroding this 440-year-old architectural and spiritual treasure. By preserving sacred sites like this, we uphold the rich building traditions, art, culture and religious significance that makes Andhra Pradesh's heritage so unique.

Your generous contribution will allow the skills of architects, engineers, artists and craftsmen to be employed in restoring this ancient temple to its original splendor.
