19 kilograms of gold, donated by the Reliance Group, have been used in the process.

Work on the dome began in October this year and was completed around Diwali.

“No new construction of the temple’s main dome has been done. Only gold plating of the existing stone pitchers has taken place,” said Mohit Chandra Sarma, Bor Doloi of the temple.

Engineers and artisans sent by RIL have carried out the gold plating work in the temple.
