The Srisailam temple trust board has approved a 30-year master plan and the integration of AI-based monitoring for crowd and traffic management. These initiatives aim to modernize facilities for devotees and improve administrative efficiency.
Why it matters
The adoption of AI in religious infrastructure demonstrates the growing trend of digital transformation in traditional and public-facing institutions.
The management of the Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple at Srisailam had increased its use of modern technology to provide better facilities for devotees over the past year, temple Trust board chairman Pothugunta Ramesh Naidu has said.
The Trust board headed by Mr. Ramesh Naidu completed one year in office on Tuesday (October 13, 2026). Mr. Ramesh Naidu, along with Trust board members Chittibotla Bharadwaja Sharma, Devaki Venkateswarlu and Chiluveru Kashinath, outlined the progress achieved by the Devasthanam during this period.
Mr. Ramesh Naidu said as part of the State government’s policy decision, it was decided to increasingly use technology in temple administration. To provide better facilities for devotees, all CCTV cameras at the temple are being integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). This integration will enable AI-based solutions to help in decisions on regulating devotee crowds and vehicle traffic, he said.
