Temple for singer in Hyderabad
We heard about some hard core fans constructing temples to their favorite heroes and heroines. Now a legendary singer cum composer had temple on his name and he is none other than Ghantasala.Famous, renowned play back singer, Ghantasala had a temple now in Hyderabad that is located in a two acre campus at Kuntlur, Hayathnagar. A temple of Ghantasala has been erected and inaugurated in Kuntlur, Hayathnagar yesterday by Sri Sri Vidya Nrisimha Bharathi, the Head of Pushpagiri Peetham.
The 'land used for the temple 'belongs to Vegesna Foundation running a charity home serving 500 physically challenged and 300 orphans. Philanthropist Vamsi Ramaraju is the man behind mobilizing the funds for construction of Ghantasala temple. Mr. Ramaraju said, 'Ghantasala is God for us and hence a temple for him is in order'.
Ghantasala's daughter Suguna helped the foundation but she could not make it to the inaugural function as she is in the USA. Ghantasala was gifted with a "most majestic voice" that had a rare richness of both quality and quantity. Cultured innovatively, it could actuate the entire diapason of melody from the very sedate to the vivacious and with radiant repose. While he set exquisite music for more than 100 films, he sang more than 13,000 songs in Telugu and Tamil, in addition to many more for the gramophone companies. Great honor for legendary singer.
