Gold-plating of the 1,450 spires or kalash atop the Somnath Temple in Saurashtra is underway.
Undertaken by the trust, the temple has already received donations from over 500 families who are sponsoring the plating of about 500 spires. More donations are awaited for the other spires.
The entire gold-plating will be completed by the end of 2021.
It will ensure a golden look for the shikhara of the Somnath temple.
