On the other hand, the modern technique which is used in the Swami Narayan mandir and its structural characteristics. This research paper discusses the environmental impact of construction and the preservation of vernacular techniques of construction as the heritage. So, it presents a proposed construction technique using a durable structure system with enhanced local materials to be able to survive a long period of time and conserve the unique character of structure. In addition, the proposed structural/architectural design of affordable structure is compared with the traditional and modern temple techniques through their strength, thermal insulation and cost. The comparison outcome shows the material properties, physical and chemical features, stability of structure and conservation maintenance.
