Architect Vivek Singh Rathore talks of the vision, material science, and spiritual geometry behind the new Jagannath Dham in Digha –а marvel three years in the making

Building Faith

The Jagannath Dham in Digha is not just a temple – it's a living yantra, engineered with precision and crafted with reverence. Chief architect, former IIT-Roorkee gold-medallist Vivek Singh Rathore, reveals how ancient principles met modern design.

What was your starting vision for the Digha Jagannath Dham?

We were clear from the outset: not to replicate Puri's temple but to construct a respectful homage. Something spiritually resonant yet structurally new – a public place of immersive experience, rooted in dignity. And it had to be world-class.

How long did it take from concept to completion?

Just under three years – which is extraordinary given the complexity. Typically, a temple of this scale, especially with such heavy stone cladding, would take seven to eight years.

Were there challenges of building so close to the ocean?

Logistically, it is beautiful – next to the railway station, with a clear line to the sea. However, geotechnically, the nature of the subsoil necessitated deep and broad focus on foundation design.

Was there any precedent you followed?
