Reviews 0

The Laxminarayan Temple  is a Hindu temple up to large extent dedicated to Laxminarayan in Delhi. The temple, inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, was built between 1933 and 1939. It was the first large Hindu temple built in Delhi. At that time, Mahatma Gandhi kept a condition that the temple would not be restricted to the upper-caste Hindus and people from every caste would be allowed inside. This is the first of a series of temples built by the Birlas in many cities of India, which are also often called Birla Temples.

The temple is spread over 3 hectares, adorned with many shrines, fountains, and a large garden with Hindu and Nationalistic sculptures, and also houses for discourses. The temple is one of the major attractions of Delhi and attracts thousands of devotees on the festivals of Janmashtami  and Diwali.
