Dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi, Birla Mandir in the pink City exhibits contemporary architecture. Though the temple is named after the deities, it is rather known by the name Birla temple, since this was built by the corporate giants, Birla Foundation. Built in with glittering white marble, this temple presents an enthralling look. The chief deity in the temple gives an ethereal appeal since it is made up of a single piece of marble.
The temple premises hold images of many other deities and among them the image of Lord Ganesh looks quite significant. Its three domes symbolizes the rich secular principles of Indian democracy. The temples is ornamented with rich sculptures and carved images that portray the mythological aspects of the Hindu religion. With its fine artistic works and structural grandeur Birla Mandir presents as a stunning formation of modern time.
