The groundwork for the temple was started in February 2020.
The temple welcomes people of all religions and has given access to worshippers and other visitors to observe the 16 deities and other interior works, according to Gulf News. The temple will be available to the public in its entirety starting today, the day of the Dussehra celebration.
The temple, which welcomes members of all religions, had its soft opening on September 1, 2022, when thousands of tourists were permitted to see its white marble interiors. It contains bells on the ceiling, Arabic and Hindu geometric patterns on the exterior, and decorative pillars.
On the day of the temple’s soft opening, the management turned on the website’s QR-code-based appointment booking system.
Since opening, the temple has seen a lot of visitors, especially on weekends. The article claims that in order to control crowds and maintain social distance, the restricted admittance has been managed using QR-coded appointments.
The majority of the deities are set up in the main prayer hall, which also features a sizable 3D-printed pink lotus spreading across the dome in the centre.

The hourly number limitations that are now in effect will not apply to those who have appointments made to visit the temple on October 5 through the official website of Dubai.
Furthermore, the Dubai temple has a huge capacity to comfortably hold between 1,000 and 1,200 worshipers every day.
