Laxmi Narayan Mandir



Birla temple is also known as Laxmi Narayan Mandir,the enormous temple was built during the year 1988, by Birla Group of Industries, one of the business tycoons of India.Its located in front of Jaipur urban development authority.The Birla Mandir is situated just below the renowned Moti Dungri Fort.Its lovely to see the fort view from the temple as the fort was on height.This temple is constructed to dedicate Lord Vishnu(narayan)the preserver and goddess of wealth, Laxmiji.Birla Mandir is constructed in the finest quality of white marble as its so old but its look new constructed temple,it shines.There is parking facility outside the temple.At the entrance,there are small gifts shops.By going upstairs,the temple is surrounded by lush green gardens.In the middle of lawns there is statues of Lord Shiva and its really beautiful art work.
Then we entered into the temple,we saw statues of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi which were constructed from one piece of Marble,dressed in black clothes having golden work with golden jewellery.Both were looking like alive and as they were talking with their people.I have visited many temples but these idols attracted me a lot.Then we took a round of the god,there were marble painting on the walls and its so nice that its difficult to explain.The artists cut the marble so nicely to show the Hindu mythology.
The window glass has colorful paintings to show the Hindu mythology scenes which is incredible art work.This temple is simply constructed with white marble but this is right place of peace.The view was really beautiful from the temple of Jaipur city. One small Museum is there where we can see the ancestral valuables of Birla family like their clothes,bed,pictures,jewellery,watches etc.It tells that hows luxurious life they lived?Its really a masterpiece in Jaipur that must look by tourist at once.
