Rajagopuram thiruppani works at Koniamman temple

The State Government has accorded administrative and technical sanction for the construction of a Rajagopuram with seven tiers for the Koniamman Temple.

It would be built at a cost of Rs 30 lakh from the temple funds and Rs 80 lakh from donations.

The raja gopuram would soon become a landmark for identifying Coimbatore by virtue of aesthetic looking tallest gopuram in the City. It would be 83.2 ft tall, 46.7 ft width and 28 ft length. With the last kumbhabhiashekam having been performed on September 8, 1995 as per the ahama rules since it was 12 years since the last kumbhabiashkam, the raja goupram thiruppani works would be completed and a kumbhabiashkam would be performed.
