Built at the cost of 850,000 dollars, it is the first glass temple of its kind in the world, said temple chairman S.Sinnathamby. He said 95 per cent of the temple’s walls, ceiling, domes and pillars were adorned with more than one million pieces of colorful glasses imported from Thailand, Japan and Belgium. “The glasswork is carefully placed together by nine Myanmar workers. Motifs and symbols like Swastika, Namam and Sri Chakra were created from the glasswork in seven colors,” he told reporters after inspecting workers putting finishing touches to the temple today.
