The temple was constructed by the religious group Kohhran Thianghlim,[2] translated as 'The Holy Church' in English.

Sailo, the founder of Kohhran Thianghlim Church, said, "In the year 1991, God showed me Solomon's Temple in my dreams.

The foundation stone was laid on December 23, 1996, and construction finished 20 years later, with a Christmas service in 2017 inaugurating the temple.

A 30 ft. wide verandah called 'The porch of Solomon's Temple' is attached to the exterior of the main hall on all four sides.

Above the porch are four pillars, each carrying seven David's stars, meant to represent the seven churches of the Book of Revelation.

The complex houses an educational institution and a social service center that provides help with addiction and includes a polyclinics hospital.
