A Hindu saint advised the Birla family that if they construct a temple, it will bring growth and prosperity to their family and business. This prompted the Birlas to construct temples, which indeed has brought prosperity. Since the start of the construction at the first temple, the construction is continuously going on at some location. The family believes that if they stop the construction of temples, it will bring bad fate. This is the reason why some of the temples are not 100% finished, and construction is on-going, albeit at a slow pace.
