Telangana’s new Secretariat in Hyderabad was inaugurated on April 30, 2023. “The concept of the new building is based on vaastu,” ThePrint reported. It added that “the distribution of entrances, cores, service cores and toilets is all according to Vaastu Shastra.”
Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, whom ThePrint described as particular about “auspicious timings,” chose the period “between 1.20 pm and 1.40 pm” that Sunday to enter his chamber. The old Secretariat was demolished in 2020. The Chief Minister’s Office had cited its “frequent roof top collapses, power short circuit problems.”
