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.

As per the statement, the dome sizes of these five mandaps range from 34 feet in width and 32 feet in length, with heights varying from 69 feet to 111 feet from the courtyard.

The sanctum sanctorum has been artistically adorned with Makrana marble pillars, beams, ceiling, and wall cladding. A total of 392 pillars have been structurally designed, considering the load factor and other climatic challenges.
