Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description. Its foundation was laid on October 1st, 1997 by Param Sant Huzur Kanwar Singh ji Maharaj. By his blessings it was completed in a very short period of just four years. The monument is a hexagonal pyramid, with its six sides being in the shape of star, as Bade Maharaj ji's first name 'Tara' means a star. Each side measures about 101 feet from the base built on a raised platform measuring about 6 feet. Out of the six, three alternative sides are covered in white marble while the other three in blue Italian glass capable of bearing extreme climatic conditions. A unique thing about the design of this building is that it doesn't have pillars or columns to support itself. The three walls of the "Samādhi" have prominent stars on them while inside the holy "Samādhi" there are infinite sparkling and twinkling stars.It seems as if they are scattering the light of divine glory of their eternal offspring friend, Param Sant Tarachand ji Maharaj. Ventilation and cooling techniques are traditional. Fresh air when passes over the fountains is cooled and enters the "Samādhi" through openings and is expelled through vents at the top. During the humid season, the exhaust fans recycle the air. [ [http://www.radhaswamidinod.org/monument.htm Radhaswamidinod.org: Star Monument, Dinod Ashram] ]

The "Samādhi" is constructed on a rectangular platform in the center. The statue of Bade Maharaj ji is erected near the western wall. Apart from this, there are six paintings depicting the life of Bade Maharaj ji on the six corners of the "Samādhi". The marble slippers placed on lotus flower near the "Samādhi" symbolizes the holy feet of Bade Maharaj ji.

Different flowers, green grass, wonderful fountains and marble paths of milky white, black and yellow colours around the "Samādhi" and at the three entrances present a marvellous picture. Stars have been constructed inside of the boundry wall. In the middle of each star, a moon is engraved depicting the name of Bade Maharaj ji. Every evening, the gardens come alive in a burst of dazzling illumination and fountains. It can perfectly be called a 'celestial garden'. The garden houses a small hut on the right side in which Maharaj ji used to meditate. It is the most important place of meditation of Bade Maharaj ji which has the memories of his life. There is a holy well on the left side, the water of which relieves the trusting followers from many diseases. The well is an imperishable treasure which recollects memories of this life. There are three stairs, one towards the main entrance gate and other two towards the exit gates. There are fountains at 5 places in the garden. two round fountains are on both sides of the main entrance. The rest three are on the raised platform in between each stairs around the "Samādhi".

On the right side from the entrance gate there is a splendid man made waterfall in the north-eastern corner, made up of mountain shaped stones. The water flowing from it leaves a mesmerizing effects on the minds of visitors.

Due to its architectural magnificence and aesthetic looks, its a divine beauty. It has no match on the earth. The celestial garden, the masive star shaped white structure, a small hut, innovative designed holy well, water flowing from waterfall makes it a fascinating and spectacular place. the three gateways are richly embellished. the combination of the traditional and the most modern techniques and equipments, has been used to achieve the highest quality and sophisticated construction.
