Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of Shri Kalki Dham Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal on Monday. The temple is dedicated to ‘Kalki’ avatar, the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The temple is dedicated to Lord Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism who is prophesied to appear at the end of Kali Yuga, the current age of darkness and conflict. The temple is unique in the world because the incarnation for whom the temple is being built has not yet appeared. 

The temple's design and architecture are not yet known to the public. However, given its dedication to Lord Kalki, it is likely to incorporate elements that symbolize his prophesied role as a bringer of justice and a new golden age.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Acharya Pramod Krishnam, chairman of Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust also witnessed the occasion. Acharya Pramod Krishnam has been expelled by the Congress party for six years after accusing him of anti-party activities, recently.

How Shri Kalki Dham Temple is Unique In The Whole World?

Shri Kalki Dham Temple is unique because the temple has been built before the incarnation of God. 

The temple will have 10 sanctum sanctorums where ten different incarnations will be established. 

The temple is being constructed with the same pink stone that is used in Ayodhya's Ram temple and Somnath temple. Steel or iron will not be used in this temple also.

The temple will be built on about five acres of land, and construction could take up to five years.

The temple will reach a height of 108 feet at its apex. The temple's platform will be constructed 11 feet above ground. Sixty-eight sites of pilgrimage will be set up at the same place.

This temple will be magnificent from a structural perspective and divine from a religious one.

Kalki Peeth will stay in its current location. A new idol of Lord Kalki, whose life will be dedicated, will exist when Kalki Dham is constructed. For the temple, a magnificent figure of Lord Kalki will be constructed. The scriptures state that when Lord Kalki takes on human form, Lord Shiva will grace him with a white horse named Devdutt. Lord Parshuram will provide him with a sword, and Lord Jupiter will impart education to him. All these things will be kept in mind when making the idol of Lord Kalki for the temple.
