Room rent increases in guest house of Vemulawada temple
Sirisila: The authorities of Sri Raja Rajeswaraswamy Temple, Vemulawada have reduced the rental rates of their guest houses. Apart from the increase in fares, it was also decided to impose 12 percent tax on goods and services. In this regard, the temple administration has also put up posters in all the guest houses along with the new cargo. Earlier, the authorities had decided to levy GST only on rooms priced above Rs 1,000. However, to end the existing practice, GST has been imposed on rooms that cost at least Rs 100. Earlier, devotees were charged Rs 2,200 per air-conditioned room at the Bhimeshwar and Nadishwara complexes. It has increased to Rs 2,500. Now, each room with air conditioning costs Rs 2,800, including a GST charge of Rs 300. The room rent at Guest House Ammavari has been increased from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500. Including GST charges, it is now charging Rs 1680. Meanwhile, the price of rooms without air conditioning in Nandishwar Complex has increased from Rs 350 to Rs 500 and Rs 560 including GST is being charged. The price of a room in Parvathipuram block has increased from Rs 500 to Rs 600. Rs 672 is charged including GST. Earlier the price of normal rooms in Block Parvatipuram was Rs 200, which has increased to Rs 300. It charges Rs 336 including GST. The price of housing in Lakshmiganapathi Complex has increased by Rs 250 to Rs 400. The price of each room is Rs 448. The rent of guest houses in Shankarpuram has increased by Rs 50 to Rs 100. Including GST it costs Rs 112. However, devotees are not satisfied with the decision of the temple authorities, as most of the people who visit the sanctuary from different states are poor, meaning the deity who presides over it is known as the Lord of the poor. , Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Gadapa Kishore Rao in a statement on Friday criticized the temple authorities for forcing poor devotees to maintain the altars. Confirmed without any prior statement that fares for pensions and other services had increased, and warned that they would organize protests if fares were not reduced.
