Mathura,

02 May (HS): Vrindavan's Chandrodaya Temple, the largest, most gorgeous, and

tallest in the country, is almost finished. It is set to be inaugurated later

this month by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister has received an

invitation from the temple management. The inauguration preparations are currently

under progress. The shrine will be three times the height of Delhi's Qutub

Minar. On March 8, 2014, former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav lay the temple's

foundation stone at the Akshaya Patra complex on the Vrindavan-Chhatikara

route. On November 16, 2014, the foundation was laid by then-President Pranab

Mukherjee. It will cost around Rs. 700 crore to build, according to ISKCON

Bangalore. In around 12 years, the 70-story temple will be almost complete.

Meanwhile,

major preparations are underway at the shrine in anticipation of PM Modi's

arrival. PM Modi may also offer puja within the temple's sanctum sanctorum. A

stage is also being built within the temple compound, allowing him to address

the crowd. However, the Prime Minister has not yet gotten approval from the

Prime Minister's Office (PMO). As a result, there is widespread conjecture that

he would pay a visit to Mathura between May 25 and May 30. Officials said

preparations are proceeding, but no green signal has been received from Delhi.

The

foundation is 55 meters deep: Due to the temple's height of 210 meters, special

attention was paid to its foundation. The foundation is approximately 55 meters

deep and the base is 12 meters high, compared to the 50-meter depth of the

world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Visitors

can view the Taj Mahal through a telescope: The height of the skyscraper temple

can be estimated by the fact that a telescope placed on top of the temple will

be able to view the Taj Mahal in Agra. The Taj Mahal is 80 kilometers away from

the temple. The first three floors of the building house temples dedicated to

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Radha-Krishna, and Balarama.

The

temple will be a unique example of urban and modern styles: The temple, being

built in Dravidian, urban, and modern styles, will also offer glimpses of the

heavens and divine pastimes through 4D technologies. A natural forest

environment has been created around the temple. A replica of the Yamuna River

will be created, along with facilities like boating.
