After an eight-year delay, a dedicated committee of friends and devotees revived the project in 2017. Together, we completed the Rajagopuram, performed the Balalayam, and constructed several new structures, including the front mandapam with stone pillars, the outer mandapam, and the Kaikrevar and Chakrathazhwar shrines.<\/p>\n<p>This monumental effort culminated in a grand Kumbabishekam in early 2020. The entire project, valued at approximately \u20b912 crores, was made possible exclusively through the generous contributions of our devotees, without any government funding. Despite facing numerous challenges, the divine blessings of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha and the unwavering support of our community guided us to success.
