Besides the design of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for this new 10,000 sq. ft. two-level temple, additions were made to house new shrines and icons of the 12 major Hindu deities. The larger shrines extend through the ceiling into 35-foot spires. The basement level is divided into separate rooms for congregational use, meetings, gift shop, a 500-seat theater, a large kitchen area, and administrative rooms.
