Veda Paatashaala
A residential Veda Paatashaala adopted and run exclusively by the Tirupathi Tirumala Devasthanam (TTD) imparts lessons on the four Vedas along with regular curriculum. Approximately 70 children have already enrolled for this full-time 8-year and 14-year courseon the Vedas and Upanishads.RAMANARAYANAM SRIMADRAMAYANA PRANGANAM is definitely a unique way of
depicting the Ramayana, and the seed of the idea was planted two generations ago when Late Sri Narayanam Narasimha Murthy, Founder and Chairman of NCS Group conceptualized the temple to be as such. Envisioned to be more than a traditional temple for people to offer prayers, the idea was to promote it as a spiritual centre where people could see the scenes from Ramayana and take away the essence of human values from the Holy epic. Choosing just a few scenes from the large epic was a challenge and Sri
Narayanam Nageswara Rao and other family members discussed /debated with scholars on the subject across the nation and then meticulously chose 72 important episodes from the
epic to be converted into pictorial sculptures. Artisans from across the nation were enlisted to carve the pictorial sculptures with intense detailing carefully thought out, creatively
crafted the RAMANARAYANAM leaves an ever lasting impression in the mind of beholder.Accessible by road, though the theme park has started functioning since an year ago, it
sees a footfall of thousands of people each day more than lakhs of pilgrims visited till date. With a glorious present, the future plans of the RAMANARAYANAM are as illustrious. These
include expansion of current facilities to include breath taking musical fountains and entertainment options along the lines of Sentosa in Singapore/Miracle gardens in Dubai.
However, keeping in touch with ethnic roots as well, a Gaushala is to be set up too as a sanctuary for cows, calves and oxen. With so much activity taking place/shape in Vizag
after the state division into two, and the state government’s intention to convert Vizag into a TOURIST HUB, RAMANARAYANAM is destined to occupy a niche position and iconic
centre sooner than later, with thousands thronging the PRANGANAM every day, which has now become a cynosure for tourists/pilgrims NCS Charitable Trust Conducting the Activities at Ramanarayanam.
