Laxminarayan Temple, Hindu temple in Connaught Place, India
The Laxminarayan Temple spans 7.5 acres with multiple shrines, gardens, and fountains, featuring detailed stone carvings depicting Hindu mythology throughout its three stories.
Construction of the temple began in 1933 under Baldeo Das Birla's guidance and was completed in 1939, becoming the first large Hindu temple in Delhi.
The temple houses statues of Narayan and Lakshmi in its main shrine, with additional sanctuaries dedicated to Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman, and Buddha.
The temple opens daily from 4:30 AM to 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 9:00 PM, with RK Ashram Marg metro station located 2 kilometers from the entrance.
Mahatma Gandhi made entrance permission for all castes a condition for inaugurating the temple, setting a precedent for religious inclusivity in India.
