So far, 39 such halls have been completed, with six more nearing completion. In total, 45 Kalyan Mandaps will soon be available.

Each Mandap, spread over 2,500 sq ft and built at a cost of around Rs 4.7 crore, features four floors, a multipurpose hall, accommodation rooms, a kitchen, and a lawn, the use of which will be free of cost. The minimum rent has been fixed at Rs 12,450. All Mandaps are being constructed in a uniform design, both internally and externally.
