Many parts of India have been blessed with the construction of several kinds of
shrines, although this noble task is sadly neglected by the ruling class. The industrial magnates and
commercial houses have taken up this sacred work with a zeal seems for surpassing the bygone builders.
Many imposing
structures have sprung up in all most all parts of India. Among the infinite
number of temples built by religious institutions-charitable Trusts and
philanthropic organizations, the shrines built by mighty Birla House are a class
in themselves. They are different and occupy a conspicuous place among such
similar ones due to characteristic Birla aroma - a speciality , rarely
accessible to ordinary humans which
is inimitable and unsurpassable in any point of time. "By any" if
affixed, it sticks hard and can't be erased even. The Viswanath Mandir in the
Banaras Hindu University Campus, Banaras, Lakshmi Narayan temple in Delhi, Sri
Krishna Mandir in Mathura, Birla Mandir in jaipur, Balaji temple in Hyderabad
etc., exemplify their matchless contribution to temple culture of modern India.
The contributions made by Baba kali Kamlia Trust, Ramakrishna Math and a host of
other similar ones deserve reverent mention. And visit-worthy as matter of fact.
