The Oneness Field || Ekkam Temple Varadaihpalem ,Andra Pradesh ||

Ekam – The Oneness Field is located in Varadaiahpalem, Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] It is on the grounds of the ashram of Kalki Bhagavan, a godman who claims to be the final and future avatar of the Hindu deity, Kalki.[2] The temple was inaugurated in April 2006,[3] and built at an estimated cost of $75 million.
Built in white marble, the temple is designed with stupas, spires, domes, ornate doors and latticed windows.[3] With its pillar-less meditation halls covering over 22,500 sq feet, largest of such halls in Asia, the temple is a symbol of modern engineering. The temple complex, designed to the Golden Ratio, has a span of 50 metres.[3]

The temple consists of three floors. Each floor is a large meditation hall. More than 8000 people can meditate together at the same time inside the temple. The halls at the ground and middle level are each a surface area of 6700m2. The hall at the top floor has a surface area of 2500m2. The height of the temple is 32.85 m. The entire temple is built on a raised platform of 130 m by 106 m and surrounded by a moat of water bodies at the four corners.

The middle floor is called Artha Kama (Hall of desires and solving problems). The top floor is a pillarless meditation hall called Dharma Moksha, housing a solid gold ball of about 36 inches diameter, called the Golden Orb, which sits upon a throne.[5]

Oneness Temple was designed by Prabhat Poddar (architect from Auroville, Tamil Nadu) based on his studies in architecture, geobiology, and Vaastu Shastra at Sri Aurobindo’s ashram-related International Centre for Education in Puducherry.[3]

The temple is located in a wide open land beside the misty Eastern Ghats mountains.[
