SURENDRAPURI, A rising Temple Complex Located on Yadagirigutta Road and just 3 KM away from Yadagirigutta,
Nalgonda Dist, Telangana, India. Before it is famous as Panchamukha Hanuman temple where you can see one of the
tallest idol of Hanuma. But currently it is became a main tourist attraction with "Kunda Stayanaranayana KalaDhamam"
The museum is also known as Mythological Awareness Center. As the name indicates, it was established to create an
awareness of Indian mythology, or more specifically Hindu mythology. It was established by Kunda Satyanarayana in
memory of his son Surendra. It is also known locally as Kunda Satyanarayana Kala Dhamam, in his honor. Meaning that
Kunda Satyanarayana has used artistry extensively to depict mythology.
It contains nearly full sized replicas of almost all the important Hindu temples in India. The architecture of the temple and
the sculptures inside makes one feel as if one is in the actual holy place itself. There are a few hundred such replicas.
The sculptures are displayed in open air indoors, depending on the size of the replica and the mythological scene
portrayed.
There are sculptures and paintings depicting stories from major Hindu epics like Ramayan, Mahabharat, and Bhagavat.
Various mythological scenes of war between Rama and Ravana in Ramayana, including Padmavyuha in Kurukshetra
between Kauravas and Pandavas in Mahabharat, are carved beautifully and portrayed in great detail.
For the religious minded, it provides satisfaction of having visited all the Hindu holy places in India in one short trip of
about 3-4 hours. For the curious minded, it provides a good visual background of what Hindu mythology is all about. One
does not have to be religious to visit this place.
