Birla Mandir

The first one was built in 1939 in Delhi collectively by Jugal Kishore Birla and his brothers and their father.

The Birla temples in Delhi and Bhopal were constructed to fulfill a cultural void in these cities.

Located at a prominent site,[1] The temple was designed to be lofty and spacious, suitable for congregational worship or discourses.

[citation needed] The Birla temples in Delhi, Banaras and Bhopal use modern construction materials and techniques.

It is said to be a replica of the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple of Khajuraho; however, it is built of white marble and adorned with not only images of Gods but also of philosophers and scientists.
