Birla Mandir, Hyderabad
Overlooking
the Tank Bund, the Birla Mandir presents an arresting sight when illuminated
in the evening. This magnificent structure built entirely out of marble from
Rajasthan, stands atop the Kala Pahad, the twin hillock of the Naubat Pahad.
Built by Birla Foundation over a span of ten years, the main temple is dedicated
to Lord Venkatehwara.
It combines the architectural styles of the Southern and Northern Indian temples.
The intricately carved gopurams (tower) at the base are in typical South Indian
style, while the smooth sikhara (dome) at the top is in the North Indian Rajasthani
style. The temple has beautiful marble carvings and some of them illustrating
verses from the Ramayana. The inner shrine of the temple is a replica of the
Venkateswara temple at Tirupati.
The Birla Mandir presents a colourful spectacular sight when illuminated at
night. A trip to Hyderabad remains incomplete without a visit to the enchanting
Birla Mandir.
