The Shri Kalki Dham is being constructed by the Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust. 

The programme was attended by several seers and religious leaders from across the country. 

The Kalki Dham Temple: 
The Kalki Dham Temple is dedicated to Lord Kalki who is Lord Vidhnu's tenth incarnation. This temple is considered to be the world's most special temple because it is said to be the first 'Dham' where God's temple was established before his incarnation.

This Temple will be constructed over a five-acre land and is expected to take about five years for the construction to be completed. The common factor between this temple and the Ayodhya Ram Mandir and Somnath Temple, is that all three are being constructed using the same pink-coloured stone. 

The architecture ‘shaili’ is also the same and therefore no steel or iron frames will be used in its construction. The ‘shikhara’ of the temple will be 108 ft high and its platform will be build 11 feet above. (Agencies)
