Birla temple is also called as Laxmi narayan Temple and is one of the grandest temple in the mordern architecture.It was completed in 1988 and completely made up of white marbles.It is situated just below the famous moti dungri hills.
The attractive stained windows glass windows of the temple depict scenes from Hindu Mythology. The idols of the temple look so real as if, they would utter a word just now. Amongst all the idols, the marble idol of Ganesha is a masterpiece which looks almost-transparent. The idols of Lord Vishnu and his consort, Lakshmi attract the attention, being made out from one piece of marble. The temple also portrays great historical achievers, philosophers and religious saints such as Socrates, Zarathustra, Christ, Buddha, and Confucius.

Known simply as Birla Mandir, this extravagant white marble temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (a.k.a. Narayan), the preserver, and his wife, Lakshmi, goddess of wealth. It is of modern construction, built in 1979, and financed by the prominent Birla family, hence the name. It is built entirely in white marble with exquisite decorations, and has become very popular among the local Hindu population. It is located immediately below the Moti Dungri Palace and hill.

Birla temple's as elsewhere in India are aesthetically designed and usually in the best location and clean. No difference here. But what jars is the piped music during arathi and poor accoustics of the building.

This temple is located 1.5km south of Albert Hall and the Ram Niwas Public Garden and was closed when I visited. Built entirely of the finest quality white marble in 1988, 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.

Birla temple is a Hindu temple built by an Indian rich and successful business man. The architecture is made of white marble with a clean look. Inside there are statues of 3 blue gods on the front stage and the walls are decorated by glass windows and carvings. It's a popular tourism spot for local people as well.

The temple, also known as Laxmi Narayan, is located in the South of Jaipur, and was built by the Birla family (a rich local family) just two yours prior to our visit. This is why, the temple is also called the 'Birla Mandir'. This modern Hindu temple is dedicated to Laxmi (goddess of wealth) and Narayana (the preserver).
The temple has three domes, each one representing a different approach to religion. It is a beautiful white marble temple, which is said to glow at night.

This magnificent, contemporary Hindu temple is made entirely of white marble. The interior -- in which no photographs are allowed -- is as exquisite as the outside of the structure.
Many non-Indians consider Hinduism something of a fairy tale religion. From my visits to this and several other temples, I can testify that it is a faith that inspires belief as complete as any other religion and devotion as deep.
