The project also includes work on older temples, with heritage preservation described as a priority in one report.
Officials have also set up a committee to advise on the project’s plans and tenders.
The committee’s government order describes its guidance as relating to a Rs 700 crore temple project, although the overall temple allocation is reported as Rs 948.65 crore.
