लक्ष्मी नारायण मन्दिर, भोपाल, Hindu temple in Arera Hills, Bhopal, India.
Lakshmi Narayan Temple sits on Arera Hill with sandy yellow walls and a large central tower. The structure is surrounded by landscaped gardens that frame the building and create open spaces around it.
The temple foundation was laid in 1960, with the formal opening ceremony taking place in 1964. This period marked a time when local leaders invested in building important religious structures in the city.
The temple walls display marble carvings showing scenes from ancient Hindu texts and religious stories. Visitors can see these sacred narratives carved into the stone as they walk through the space.
The temple is open daily with morning and evening visiting hours that include regular prayer times. It is best to arrive early in the day to explore the gardens without crowds and experience the calm of the place.
An adjacent museum on the grounds displays sculptures from the 12th century gathered from various regions nearby. These works offer a glimpse into the artistic traditions that thrived in the area long before the temple was built.
