Review of Kolkata by Soumita Ghosh

Birla Mandir can be aptly described in one word ? serene. You will be required to submit your shoes and other belongings before entering the temple, so I would advise you to carry only the necessary (Read More)items before going there. Photography is not allowed and you will be required to switch off your phones before stepping into the temple. You must maintain silence once you are inside. Any loud noise echoes through the temple and disturbs the peaceful atmosphere surrounding this place. Although the central idol here is that of Radha-Krishna, Birla Mandir also has idols of Lord Shiva, Lord Hanuman, Goddess Durga, and Lord Ganesha. Apart from these, you will also find various depictions of Bhagavad Gita. You can sit inside the temple as long as you want and meditate in silence.
