The facility, constructed with contributions from donors, the YTDA, and the Devasthanam, was inaugurated by EO Venkat Rao along with major donor Vegesna Anantakoti Raju.
Spread across 1.20 acres, the complex was completed at a cost of Rs 23 crore. Of this, Rs 14 crore was donated by Vegesna Anantakoti Raju from Ganapavaram in West Godavari district, while the remaining expenses were met by the YTDA and the Devasthanam.
The building houses two large dining halls, two waiting halls, and 12 store rooms. A modern kitchen equipped with boilers, automated dishwashing machines, gas pipelines, and large-scale cooking equipment has been set up. Arrangements have been made to serve food to two thousand to five thousand devotees at a time.
