Prem Mandir has a 20ft deep foundation, where solid pieces of granite have been laid in order to withstand the ravages of time, as well as to protect the structure from the effects of an earthquake. No steel, bricks or cement have been used to bind the blocks. This is in line with the ancient tradition of great temple building which had been a lost art for several centuries until now.
