India: Jaipur – Birla Mandir Temple
And one more attraction in Jaipur – Birla Mandir Temple. This is a relatively new structure, built between 1977-85, but it looks amazingly stunning. Standing at the foot of a mountain with an old temple on top, Birla Mandir is built out of the whitest imaginable marble. The temple’s three marble domes are almost glowing during the sunset and the white columns depicting various religious figures seem to be floating in air. Inside, the marble walls have religious scenes engraved on them. Photography is not allowed, but how can one resist…
