'Shikhara' of the temple will reach a height of 108 ft, with the platform elevated 11 ft above the ground. As per the records, a total of 68 pilgrimage sites will be established within the temple premises.

Who is Kalki Avatar?

As per religious scriptures, Kali Yuga commenced after Lord Krishna departed from Earth. It's worth noting that Kali Yuga is believed to last for 432,000 years. Currently, 5,126 years of Kali Yuga have elapsed.

According to the 24th verse of the 12th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, the birth of Lord Kalki will occur on Earth when the Guru (Jupiter), Sun, and Moon align in the Pushya Nakshatra. The anticipated birth date of this tenth incarnation of Shrihari will be the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha of the Sawan month.

When will the Kalki avatar take place?

According to religious texts, Kali Yuga began as soon as Lord Krishna left the earth. It may be noted that Kali Yuga is said to be 4 lakh 32 thousand years long. So far, 5126 years of Kali Yuga have passed.

According to the 24th verse of the 12th canto of the Shrimad Bhagavat Purana, when Guru, Sun, and Moon enter Pushya Nakshatra together, then Lord Kalki will be born on earth. The birth date of this tenth avatar of Shrihari will be the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha of the Sawan month.

Idol creation and ceremonies

Kalki Peeth will remain in its original place, but a new idol of Lord Kalki will be crafted. Pran Pratishtha ceremony, similar to the Ram Mandir Consecration Ceremony, will be conducted.

Details from scriptures will serve as a guide for the idol creation, including a white horse named 'Devdutt' from Lord Shiva, a sword from Lord Parshuram, and education from Lord Brihaspati.

Where will the Kalki avatar take place?

According to the information, the Kalki avatar will be born in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. That is why the Kalki Dham is being built at this place. So far, temples of all the avatars of Lord Vishnu that have taken place so far have been built after their birth, but Kalki is the only avatar of Lord Vishnu whose temple is being built even before his birth.

What will be the appearance of the Kalki avatar?

The sixteenth chapter of the 'Agni Purana' describes the Kalki avatar as a horseman holding a bow and arrow. It is said that Lord Vishnu's Kalki avatar will come riding on a white horse named Devadatta, who will destroy the sinners of Kali Yuga.

This avatar of God will be endowed with 64 arts. Kalki will perform penance to Lord Shiva and acquire miraculous powers from him to destroy unrighteousness.
