The overall architecture of the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower is inspired by the iconic Brihadeeswara Temple, reflecting the grandeur and intricate craftsmanship of the Chola dynasty. Built by the Chola emperor Rajaraja I between 1003 and 1010 CE, the Brihadeeswara temple showcases the nuances of Dravidian architecture and stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site[9]. It is particularly known for its massive size, intricate sculptures, and detailed frescoes. The Venkateswara Swamy Temple in the Hare Krishna Heritage Tower is modeled after its original namesake, the revered Tirupati Balaji Temple.All aspects, starting from the Maha Mandapam or Main Hall, the Garbhagudi or Sanctum Sanctorum, and the Deity, replicates the spiritual and architectural essence that has drawn millions of devotees to Tirupati.The architecture will also have elements inspired from the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple[10], Srirangam, and the Jagannath Temple, Puri.
