What’s Special
Get ready for a fascinating journey into the construction of the Kalki Dham Temple! Spanning across a five-acre plot, this architectural marvel is set to unfold over the course of five years. What’s particularly intriguing is its connection to the legendary Ayodhya Ram Mandir and the historic Somnath Temple – all three are crafted from the same exquisite pink-colored stone, echoing a timeless tradition. Embracing a traditional ‘shaili’ architecture, the temple’s construction proudly shuns modern materials like steel or iron frames.
Picture this: a majestic ‘shikhara’ soaring 108 feet high, while its platform stands elevated 11 feet above ground level. Within its sacred confines, 68 sacred pilgrimage spots are slated to be established, promising spiritual journeys of profound significance.

While the Kalki Peeth remains steadfast in its original location, the temple will house a newly crafted idol of Lord Kalki, with a grand Pran Pratishtha ceremony akin to the consecration rites witnessed at the Ram Mandir. According to ancient scriptures, the forthcoming incarnation of Lord Kalki will be accompanied by divine gifts: a majestic white horse named ‘Devdutt’ from Lord Shiva, a formidable sword from Lord Parshuram, and divine wisdom bestowed by Lord Brihaspati. These intricate details are meticulously woven into the construction of the temple’s idol, promising a sanctuary steeped in myth and legend.
