At Radha Swami Aashram Dinod, there is a majestic Star Temple that serves as a lovely memorial to Param Sant Tarachand Ji Maharaj. This remarkable structure is among India's most intriguing architectural marvels. This edifice, which is located within the Radhaswami Satsang Bhawan Complex in Dinod, Haryana, about 10 kilometers from Bhiwani, is a real beauty that defies appropriate description. On October 1, 1997, this amazing structure's foundation stone was set with the blessing of Param Sant Huzur Kanwar Ji Maharaj. Surprisingly, with his approval, the building was finished in just four short years. In honor of Maharaj Ji's given name, Tara, which means "star," the monument is shaped like a hexagonal pyramid with six sides that are each decorated with stars. From its base, each side extends about 101 feet, elevated on a roughly 6-foot-wide platform.

Inside of the star temple: This magnificent monument's interior was carefully planned, paying close regard to its aesthetic appeal. It has three access gates, and Bade Maharaji's Samadhi is located close to the western wall. Six paintings, each reflecting a different aspect of Param Sant Huzur Tara Chand Ji Maharaj's life, are shown on the hexagonal framework of the edifice. The Samadhi itself is shaped like a rectangle and is located next to the western wall. Marble slippers are placed nearby to represent Bade Maharaji's respected feet. An abundance of sparkling and bright stars fill the Samadhi Sthal's interior, creating a captivating atmosphere. Three of the six sides are ornamented with spotless white marble, while the remaining three shine with weather-resistant blue Italian glass. The absence of pillars or columns in its self-supporting framework makes this building's architecture unusual. The inner sanctum of the samadhi is filled with numerous shimmering and twinkling stars that appear to be reflecting the holy light of Param Sant Huzur Tara Chand Ji Maharaj, while three walls of the samadhi are decorated with notable stars. The methods of cooling and ventilation used here have a long history. Before entering the samadhi through openings and eventually being released through vents at the top, fresh air is naturally cooled as it flows over fountains. Exhaust fans are used to effectively circulate the air in this holy place during humid seasons.
