As there is a big Muslim community in Hyderabad and relationship between Hindus and Muslims is tense, Hindus people fear that their beautiful temple might be a potential site of a terroristic attack. Because of that at the entrance to the temple there is a metal detector gate and the guards make sure that no one can bring anything with them to the temple (no cameras, no phones, not even a small purse!)

Also, I was very impressed by the fact that in the garden surrounding the main temple there is a wall with descriptions of several world's major religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Jainism and Sikhism. Notice no mention of Islam...
Here is the only picture of the temple that I was able to take:
The statues of Gods are almost always decorated with these kind of flowers:
