India early created the beginning of nearly all of the sciences, some of which she carried forward to remarkable degrees of development, thus leading the world. India has produced great literature, great arts, great philosophical systems, great religions, and great men in every department of life - rulers, statesmen, financiers, scholars, poets, generals, colonizers, shipbuilders, skilled artisans and craftsmen of every kind, agriculturists, industrial organizers and leaders in far-reaching trade and commerce by land and sea.” Rev. Jabez T. Sunderland (1842-1936)
On August 29, 2023, in Boyalapalli village, Kalyandurg Mandal, Anantapur District in Andhra Pradesh, a program for the consecration of Nagappal idols was organized in Dalit Colony by Global Hindu Heritage Foundation
    As part of religious campaign in Boyalapalli Dalit Colony, I noticed that most of the people in this village are converting to Christianity, explained the difference between our Hindu traditions and Christianity, instead of going to foreign religion, those who follow Hindu religion, instead of going to foreign religion, they should establish a snake in this village, we did motivation together with the village elders. However, could not move ahead due to financial difficulties.
But the idols of Nagappa are brought with the money received in the form of donations in the village. The rest of the program was organized free of charge by Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. Prana Pratishtha Program Pooja and Homa programs were organized.   
Sri Gopi Chary 
He has been visiting this village for more than a year and encouraging them to build Sri Nagappa Devalayam. In the beginning, he encouraged villagers to start Bhajan sessions and taught them to sing several bhajans mainly to develop bhakti in the deities. He promised the villagers to help install and make them participate in all the rituals irrespective of caste. He sat with many villagers and motivated them to build this Temple.
Praṇa Pratishtha refers to the ritual or ceremony by which murtis are consecrated in a Hindu temple. With the chanting of hymns and mantras, specially trained priests invite the deity to be permanent guests. After installing the Murthy, Prana (life) is infused into them. The murti's eye is opened for the first time. The ritual is considered to infuse life into the Hindu temple and bring to it the numinous presence of divinity and spirituality.
The ceremony marks the recognition of the image of god to represent "a particle of the divine whole, the divine perceived not in man's image as a separate entity but as a formless, indescribable omnipresent whole", with the divine presence a reminder of its transcendence and to be beheld in one's inner thoughts during darśana in the temple.
What is Prana Pratishta
The Sanskrit word pratiṣṭhā, is defined as "the consecration of a vessel or dwelling."  The corresponding adjective pratiṣṭha means "installed" or "consecrated". Prana means "life force, breath, spirit". The phrase Prana Pratishtha is a ritual that means,  "bringing life to the temple" It is also referred to as Murti Sthapana (image placement inside the temple), or the composite word Pranapratishtha. Traditionally, this was the step when the eye of the murti was sculpted open, inside the garbhagriha (Purusha space of the temple) of a Hindu temple.
