: As many as 11 infrastructural projects at an estimated cost of ₹36.70 crores are underway at the Marudhamalai Subramaniaswamy Temple in Coimbatore, officials said.
Among the ongoing projects, 20% of the work has been completed in construction of a lift system — the most awaited by the devotees. This project involves installation of four lifts, with two servicing the ground level (parking area) to 17.15 m height and the other two connecting the 17.15 m to 23.10 m level, facilitating easy access from the hill car parking area to the hill temple floor.
Each lift will have a capacity to transport 20 passengers at a time. The project is expected to be completed within the next eight months at ₹5.20 crores.
