The Kalki Dham Temple:

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)
