It’s big surprise for us when we visited the temple on 2nd July. We were expecting this temple to be a small place but realized that it’s a grand new temple complex that was inaugurated as recent as June 18th!

Temple building looks like an apartment externally perhaps due to narrow site dimensions! One needs to climb quite a few steps to reach main temple premises at 2nd floor. I didn’t observe presence of lift but I am sure there’s provision for it and it’s still under construction.
