Dr. Mohan Yadav will lay the foundation stone for a grand temple dedicated to Lord Shiva at Ekatm Dham, Omkareshwar on August 27.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav is set to lay the foundation stone of the 'Panchayatan' Temple at 'Ekatm Dham' in Omkareshwar city on Thursday, August 27, at 6 AM. This event will mark the initiation of construction, which will be attended by representatives of India's revered monastic tradition, saints of the Shaddarshan Sant Mandal, and distinguished guests. The sacred Shila Poojan ceremony will be conducted through Vedic rituals by Acharyas from various institutions.
The grand temple is being constructed to preserve and carry forward the transformative contribution of Bhagavatpada, made by Jagatguru Adi Shankaracharya, who revived the 'Panchayatan' worship tradition to establish harmony among different methods of worship. The temple embodies the philosophy of worshipping the one Supreme Brahman through its diverse manifestations.
Lord Shiva will be enshrined at the centre of the temple, with four subsidiary shrines dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Lord Surya, Lord Ganesha, and Bhagwati Shakti located at the four corners. The main shrine will feature a Somatilak-style shikhara, while the sanctum sanctorum will follow the Sarvatobhadra design, with entrances on all four sides.
The temple complex will include 100 artistically carved pillars and eight miniature Samvarnas. Grand entrance toranas and a magnificent 26-foot-diameter dome will enhance its architectural beauty. The entire temple will stand on a 16-foot-high Jagati, or raised platform, and will be adorned with 121 kalashas. Approximately 80,000 cubic feet of intricately carved pink sandstone are being used in its construction.
