The construction of the temple started in 1994. Many people worked internally and externally in building the 65-feet-tall manifesto. The temple reached its completion and 26 February 1995, the auspicious day of Maha Shivratri, was set as the inauguration day. Sri Shankaracharya of Shringeri (who is said to be the incarnate of Lord Shiva) consecrated the Shiv Mandir on the set date.
