The construction progress is closely monitored on a daily basis by senior officials, who promptly address any issues that arise.

The committee also mentioned that the placement of Rajasthan's Bansi Paharpur stone on the three-storey temple is currently underway, following the completion of the temple foundation, raft, and plinth.

In addition to the sanctum sanctorum, the temple comprises five mandaps: Gudh Mandap, Rang Mandap, Nritya Mandap, Prathana Mandap, and Kirtan Mandap.
