Laxmi Narayan Temple in Jaipur
Travel to Jaipur, the Pink City of India and savour the array of architectural razzmatazz that the royal state of Rajasthan is known for. The Laxmi Narayan Mandir, also known as Birla Mandir, is a modern architectural marvel that tourists should not miss during their Jaipur travel.
Situated in the south of Jaipur, Laxmi Narayan Temple is one of the many such temples built by the Birla family, one of the largest industrial dynasties in India, thus it is also known as Birla Mandir. The temple is a great reminder of the secular traditions India has shown over the centuries. The temple has been constructed in white marble and has three domes, each portraying the different approaches to religion.
The temple is situated at the foot of Moti Doongri Fort, converted as a small palace by Ram Singh II for his wife Maharani Gayatri Devi.
