Jaipur, the Pink City, is famous for many architectural marvels built during different eras. One of the most contemporary structures is Birla Temple built in white marble using modern architectural elements. Massive domes, stained glasses and stunning use of white marble are among the main highlights of the built on an elevated ground.
Dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayana) and his consort Laxmi, the temple is well-known for portraying religious figures from many religions apart from Hinduism. The pictorial backdrop of Moti Dungari Hill makes the temple even more magnetic in appeal. It is a pleasure to watch the lighted up temple at evening.
