A five‑storey reconstruction of the Aranya Devi Temple in Ara, Bihar, is underway, with the structure expected to exceed 155 feet and cost around ₹8‑10 crore.
The historic Aranya Devi Temple in Ara, Bihar, is being completely rebuilt as part of a large‑scale renovation project. Local authorities have approved a new five‑storey structure that will replace the existing shrine.
The planned edifice will stand more than 155 feet tall, making it one of the tallest temples in the region. Officials estimate the construction cost at roughly eight to ten crore rupees, a figure that reflects the scale of the design and the quality of materials to be used.
The temple holds deep cultural significance, with traditions linking it to the Dvapara Yuga era. Devotees expect the upgraded complex to attract larger pilgrim crowds and boost the local economy.
Work on the project has already begun, and the temple is slated for completion within the next few years, subject to standard construction timelines and funding availability.
