Sanghi temple is located in Sanghi Nagar, 25 kms from Hyderabad. It is situated in a hillock called as Paramanand Giri, as one enters a huge Maha Dwaram or gateway welcomes the visitors. A little further away, a long flight of steps leads to the entrance of the temple complex. The presiding deity of the complex is Lord Venkateshwara , 9-½ ft tall. A heavy, beautifully carved door forms the main entrance of the temple complex. The majestic temple complex is built in the Chola-Chalukya style of architecture and hosts all important Hindu god idols.

If you stand at the foot of the hillock, one is awestruck to see the three Gopurams towering into the blue sky. And before ascending to the temple complex on top, one stops by at the shrine of Lord Anjaneya, son of the wind God, who is believed to guide the devotees to the abode of Gods. The red-faced Lord Anjaneya is the embodiment of death to the demons and his very name drives away all evils.

The exotic flowers for the Gods in the temple are grown in the Pavitra Vanam or "Holy Garden". Plots have been demarcated for each deity and special leaves and flowers are grown for performing poojas. The temple complex also houses a Kalyan Mandapam where marriages and other auspicious ceremonies are performed. The Mandapam is a raised platform with a decorated canopy over it. It is built in a style similar to the temples in the complex and blends perfectly into its surroundings. A well tended lawn in front provides plenty of open space for seating the spectators.Different poojas are performed each day. Besides, the temple at Sanghi offers special poojas during festivals.
