However, in recent decades, hundreds of churches have illegally encroached on this sacred temple land. These churches actively push conversion efforts, targeting locals and the thousands of devotees who visit Bhadrachalam seeking spiritual solace.

The Alarming Reality Bhadrachalam
These illegal churches represent more than unauthorized constructions. They symbolize a calculated attempt to undermine Hindu faith in a place deeply rooted in Hindu tradition. Conversion activities persist through these churches, where locals face coercion and pressure to abandon their faith.
Despite Bhadrachalam temple authorities submitting 46 written complaints to the government, the authorities have refused to act. They have not stopped the illegal constructions, and police have failed to register a single FIR to investigate these violations. The government continues to ignore the encroachments on sacred Hindu lands while devotees wait helplessly for action.
Government’s Ignorance Bhadrachalam
The state government has repeatedly ignored the temple’s pleas for action. Why hasn’t the government responded to the 46 complaints? Does the government fear backlash from powerful conversion groups, or do they simply refuse to defend Hindu interests? Their silence suggests a passive acceptance of the ongoing violations at one of the most significant Hindu temples.
By failing to register FIRs or investigate the illegal churches, the authorities signal that they will not protect Bhadrachalam’s lands. The Hindu community must confront this growing threat before it spreads even further.
A Call for Action
Hindus must unite to demand immediate action from the government. Temple authorities have lodged their complaints, but without public pressure, the government will continue to ignore the issue. A collective outcry must arise to force the state to investigate these encroachments and bring those responsible to justice.
The government must immediately halt the illegal construction of these churches. They must investigate how these churches encroached on temple land and take strict legal action against those responsible. Only then can Bhadrachalam’s sanctity be restored.
Save Temples
Bhadrachalam is more than a temple—it is a living testament to the ancient heritage of Hinduism. The land it occupies is sacred not only to the people of Bhadrachalam but to millions of Hindus who revere Lord Rama. Allowing illegal constructions to continue desecrates this heritage. Hindus must act now to protect Bhadrachalam from forces that show no respect for its sanctity.
