The temple complex reverentially named as "Malai Mandir" is a harmoniously blended Tamil Word "Malai" {Mountain/Hill) with the Hindi word "Mandir" {Temple}by the people of Delhi, with Sree Swaminatha Swami as the Presiding Deity, and has been attracting an increasing number of people of all classes of people from India and abroad year after year, and has become an important landmark of Delhi. This temple reflects the glory and grandeur of South Indian Temple Architecture at its best. .

The year 2007 was unique in the annals of the Temple. An Eka Koti Archana was performed with all solemnity and intense devotion. One crore recitals of the sacred Namavalis of Lord Swaminatha Swami uttered in the sonorous and harmonious unison by twelve learned Sivacharyas continuously for 120 days, for the benefit of not only the participating devotees, but also to the people at large, the country and above all humanity as a whole. It is the earnest belief of the devotees that with the successful completion of the Eka Koti Archanas, the sanctity and dignity of the temple has increased manifold. 

With the infinite Grace of Lord Swaminatha Swami, one is inclined to view the future progress of the Samaj in its services to the devotees with great expectations. It has embarked on the comprehensive Building Project trying to improve (a) a wide range of infrastructural facilities in the temple complex for the benefit of the devotees viz. a well equipped modern office, wider auditorium for the assembly of devotees, an additional kitchen and (b) extension of social welfare benefits to the employees, including provision of more number of residences and renovation with increase of living space of their existing residences. Provision has also been made for a library and a Veda Patasala for which attempts are being initiated to secure some additional allotment of land. This composite Building renovation and extension Project is expected to take about three years for its execution. 

With the completion of the Project, as envisaged and with the Infinite Grace of Lord Swaminatha Swami, the Malai Mandir is expected to emerge as a well integrated, magnificent artistic structure, serving in various ways the spiritual and temporal needs of the devotees.
