Solomon's Temple in Aizawl, Mizoram is constructed by a non-denominational church, known in Mizo language as Kohhran Thianghlim which is rendered The Holy Church in English. The church was founded by Dr. L.B. Sailo in 1984 and the members are known as 'the elects.' Their mission is to proclaim and disseminate the word of God throughout the world, particularly to the Mizo people through written and
spoken means of communication, and they are constructing Solomon's Temple as a symbol of their love of Jesus Christ. Tucked away in the clouded hills of West Aizawl stands the Solomon's Temple, an architecturally magnificent white structure that has been attracting curious tourists from around the world. When travelling upon the dusty uneven roads leading up to the temple, one doesn't expect to come upon a place of worship so structurally magnificent. This church made purely of white marble brought in all the way from Rajasthan, can be seen shining against the bright, sunny, azure Aizawl skies.
The Solomon's temple of Aizawl is located 10 kilometres from the main city and has been under construction for nearly the past 2 decades. The foundation of the temple was laid on December 23, 1996. The estimated cost of construction is USD 3 million. The ambitious project is said to include state-of-the-art facilities and is to be completed by 2016. If all goes well, there are also plans to build a five-star hotel close to the temple for visiting tourists.
