The Rs. 882.87 crore development plan includes:

  • Upgradation of the existing Parkota (temple complex boundary).
  • Construction of new buildings and pilgrimage infrastructure.
  • Development of state-of-the-art tourist facilities.
  • A 10-year operation and maintenance contract post-completion.

With enhanced amenities and an immersive cultural experience, the project is seen as a major step toward preserving the spiritual and historical legacy of Maa Janaki, while also driving economic development through tourism in the region.
