an elevated ground at the base of Moti Dungari hill in Rajasthan. The
Birla Temple is said to be a replica of a Scottish castle. The Birla
Mandir at Rajasthan is built by the famous B.M. Birla Foundation, which
is one of the world's most famous business foundations. While in
Rajasthan, a visit to Birla Mandir should be one of your topmost
priorities.
Built entirely in the finest quality white marble, the temple has some
beautifully carved sculptures and idols. It is dedicated to Lord Lakshmi
Narayan also known as Lord Vishnu of the Hindu trinity. The three main
domes of the Temple represent a very clear picture of secular India as
they portray different approaches to the religions of the nation. The
temple has some of the most beautifully crafted idols of Lord Ganesha
and other Hindu Gods. Alongwith the idols of Gods, one can find statues
of great thinkers and philosophers like Buddha and Socrates.
The Birla Temple looks like a magical palace during the festival of
Janmashtami, which is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. The
whole temple is decorated beautifully with flowers and festoons. In the
evening, the temple glows, as it is illuminated with a thousand light
bulbs. The magnificent structure in white marble glows in breathtaking
radiance and captivates everyone with its unparalleled beauty.
