I welcome you to Day 11 of our 100 Days – 100 Places Challenge in Delhi.
So today we came to Shri Lakshmi Narayan Temple, which is also known as Birla Temple.
Birla Mandir Temple (Lakshmi Narayan), New Delhi
This temple was built by J.K Birla Ji and it was inaugurated by Gandhi Ji. But, he had a condition that people of any caste could come and worship in this temple.
Even today this temple looks very grand and beautiful. Photography is not allowed inside so you cannot see a lot of videos and pictures of this temple.
I definitely recommend you to visit Birla Mandir and enjoy its beauty.
