The purpose of this time capsule is to ensure that the identity of the temple remains intact over time so that it doesn’t get forgotten in the future. Time capsule contents are uploaded on cyberspace and various museums. - The temple is an earthquake-resistant structure, with an estimated age of 2500 years as per NICMAR standards.
