The spire of the temple sanctum is designed and scaled to ensure maximum visibility from most points in the district vicinity while the rest of the complex dissolves in nature with its boundaries blurring between the forest cover and the Hullikal lake. The primary elements that the design of the project is based on are The Sun, The Water, The Greenery and The People. The Temple Complex is oriented east to west where the shrine is facing west as per traditional beliefs. A linear spiritual pond surrounded by ghats, centrally located like a stepwell takes advantage of this orientation by catching reflections of the rising and setting sun as the pilgrims take holy dips in water.
The experience of walking through the series of spaces on this soothing site; the linearity, the stepped progression, the floating deck, the pond, multiple ghats and the mandapa (sanctum) are all designed to charge its visitors with a sense of tranquility.
