The original brick shrine was expanded in 1902 and 1914 with granite sanctum, an austere gopuram modelled on Tirupati, and tiled courtyards; 1979-1984 works introduced reinforced concrete frames, granite cladding, and Italian marble floors, followed by a 2005-2015 redevelopment that added a cultural centre, improved circulation, and strengthened the gopuram with steel cores concealed within the stucco ([1][2]). The present complex employs loadbearing brick and granite walls, reinforced concrete beams, and timber trusses supporting clay-tiled roofs. Granite pillars, teak doors, and stucco iconography were crafted in South India and installed using stainless dowels, lime mortar, and modern sealants. The new cultural centre utilises reinforced concrete, steel beams, and curtain walls to create column-free halls, while services integrate discreet HVAC, LED lighting, and audio systems for multi-purpose programming ([1][3]).
