Birla
Mandir, Jaipur is a Hindu temple located in Jaipur, India and is part
of one of the several Birla mandirs located all around the country.
The grand temple is located on an elevated ground at the base of Moti
Dungari hill in Rajasthan. The temple is sometimes also referred to as
the Laxmi Narayan Temple. The temple's excellent architecture and
splendid marble carvings make it a pleasure to visit. The main idols
of the temple are Lord Vishnu (also known as Narayan) and his consort
Goddess Lakshmi but the temple has many small shrines devoted to
various Hindu Gods and Goddesses. On the outside of the temple walls
one can see many carvings of many historic and religious figures. The
three marble domes of the temple represent the three major religions
of the country. The Birlas have thus attempted to keep the temple out
of religious bigotry and made it a place of secular worship. |
