Hyderabad: Telangana is getting the world’s first 3D-printed place of worship. The 3D-printed temple will mark an architectural revolution in the nation.
Apsuja Infratech, a Hyderabad-based leading construction company, has joined hands with Simpliforge Creations, an innovative 3D printing construction company, to create this architectural innovation.
The 3D temple will be situated in Charvitha Meadows at Burugupally, Siddipet, and is likely to open in the next two months.
The three-part structure, a Hindu temple sprawling over an impressive 3,800 sqft and standing tall at about 30 feet, is a unique architectural wonder, a one-of-its-kind innovation being built in Telangana.
The three sanctums or Garbhas within the structure represent a ‘Modak’ (a fig-shaped delicacy) dedicated to Lord Ganesha, a Shivalay, a square abode devoted to Lord Shankar, and a lotus-shaped home for Goddess Parvati.
The structure is 3D printed by Simpliforge with their in-house developed system and indigenously developed material and software. This is the first 3D-printed place of worship in the world.
“Completely printed on-site, the temple’s striking dome-shaped structures, including the modak and the lotus, presented formidable challenges that required the team to employ bespoke design techniques, meticulous analysis, and innovative construction methods, all the while following the principles of temple architecture resulting in this awe-inspiring architectural marvel,” said Hari Krishna Jeedipalli, MD of Apsuja Infratech.
“With the Shivalay and the Modak construction completed, phase II comprising of the lotus and the tall spires (Gopurams) are already underway,” he added.
