A total of 18 lakh bricks have been used in the temple and marble has also been used in it. Stones from Rajasthan have also been used to enhance the grandeur of the temple.
The construction work of this temple has been done by the BAPS organization located on Sheikh Zayed Highway in Abu Dhabi. The government has donated land for this temple.
