Apsuja Infratech, a Hyderabad-based leading construction company, has partnered with Simpliforge Creations, a 3D printing construction company, to create the world’s first 3D printed place of worship – more than a year ahead of Dubai’s plan to 3D print a mosque – in the form of a Hindu temple. Situated within Charvitha Meadows, at Burugupally, Siddipet, Telangana, India, the 3D printed temple serves as a testament to the harmonious integration of technology and nature with sustainability.
The ground-breaking, three-part temple covers 3,800 square feet, and stands at approximately 30 feet tall. 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, using the company’s in-house developed system and locally developed material and software.
“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, Managing Director 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.”
