The new Temple of Light is taking shape at Yasodhara Ashram in Kootenay Bay.
Swami Lalitananda says prefabricated parts have started arriving from Spearhead Timberworks.
Next week four base petals should be locked into place.
The new temple replaces the one that burned in 2014.
It will be a curved lotus-like structure with large windows and eight entrances.
