Thousands of saints, religious leaders, and other dignitaries attended the puja of the temple dedicated to Kalki – the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu. The Kalki Dham Temple will be quite unique because it is dedicated to a god who is yet to be incarnated. The temple will have ten sanctums – representing Lord Vishnu’s ten incarnations.
