Upgrades
Subsequently, the temple was upgraded to a major temple-complex in the time period between 1945 and 1947.[2]
In 2011, the temple complex was further upgraded to include a multipurpose hall and library. Completion was expected by 2012.[3]
As of 15 February 2015[update] the temple was incomplete due to shortage of funds. Another Rs. 3 crore is required to complete the mandir.
