Situated in suburban East Delhi, Sri Ganesh temple was proposed as a refurbishment project of an old temple inside the central park of Kaushambi. It grew from being a RCC construction with no ventillation and space to being a smaller open brick monolithic built allowing more space for the visitors. In the Sub-urban context of East Delhi, the main concern was to provide a space which would marry the socio-cultural expectations of a temple with the economic framework and dynamics of and around the site. The idea led to employing a frugal approach forgoing any form of ornamentation and extravagance while still keeping ideas of typical temple shikhara and sanctum intact.
