A wonderful Temple with a nice architecture.We visited this place in the time of Covid-19. There were many restrictions which were being maintained by the respective authority. We had to stand in a queue, we had wear face mask. Nobody can take any pic inside of the temple. Phone has to be switched off before entering into Temple.We couldn’t sit for a while inside of the mandir. The Temple is so clean and spacious. It was not dirty like other temples.We took two pictures from outside of the Temple.

Very Good place 👏.Very one have to visit this place.Temple is located on Road. Very clean and safe with security guards.Adults men woman children everybody can see this place.I visit there.Very happy 😊

Please visit this place with your family once....its so epic and grandeur...you will surely love it...you will feel for a moment that you are not in kolkata and some other place....the ideal time to visit is at 5pm in the evening, when there will be a puja. Just another beautiful place to visit in kolkata

Peaceful place, clean and very nice place. Its a spiritual place of God krishna and Goddess Radha. This is a Hindu temple. I love this place.

I visited during pandemic time so it was all deserted! No one was there except 5-6 people and caretakers of temple! I enjoyed the beauty of temple. Construction is huge! I felt nice seeing tram passing by temple. I gave 4 rating because I was annoyed by priests who were asking for donations.

As per traditions of Birla family, this temple is also magnificent and grand.Great carvings and architecture.Staff has strict covid protocol in place.Very well maintained.Now surrounded by high rises.Extremely clean.Staff not very helpful.

There is no cloakroom / bags area here. So please dont carry any bags. Other than ladies purse and helmet.

The Birla Temple needs no introduction, as its immensely popular both amongst the locals as well as tourists visiting the City of Joy, Kolkata. During my visit post the lockdown period in the month of September (2021), I was really impressed to experience the magnificence and the ethereal resplendency of this gorgeous white marble temple. Before entering the temple, you need to deposit your shoes and bags in the room located at the right-hand side of the staircase. Mobile phones were asked to be switched off and photography was not permitted inside the temples premises. Strictly following all the Covid-19 protocols, wearing a mask was mandatory while entering the temple. The main attraction of this temple is the Radha Krishna Mandir, which is located in the middle of the three temples. Its indubitably one of the most marvelous temples that you will come across in India. Recommended to visit. 🙏🏻

Very big temple and its so beautiful

Photography doesnt allowed, not much more things to see. Comes With devotional purpose and peace of mind.

Amazing place..! The only problem during Covid situation is timing. Visiting time is 8Am to 11Am and you cannot stay in the temple for long, hardly 5 to 7 mins you have..!And it does not open In the evening, so only time for visiting is from 8AM to 11Am in the morning.Radhe radhe 🙏

Its a very nice place. Its on the main road. Get down at Ballygunge Phadi. You get auto and public buses to commute. Landmark can be Haldirams.

I have visited during corona pandemic, At that time only 10 people are allowed to enter the premises at a time . It has a great infrastructure with huge radhe krishna idol in the main entrance. They didnt allow you to click photos. But overall its beautiful place to visit when you got to kolkata ❤️

A great place to visit.But in todays situation they are not giving any independence to sit in the floor... even they dont give the permission to stand for few minutes.But instead of that the temple was really giving peace in mind.The sculpture on the wall of temple is excellent.

A good Place to visit and relax for some time. Idol of all Gods are there. A clean and cool place to forget ur daily activities /tension and worship with relaxed mood.

Calm and peaceful place to offer your prayers

Most beautiful place with peaceful place😌🙌

This is one of the most beautiful temples built in Kolkata so far...The detailed carvings on the walls and flawless architecture will definitely win your heart... The environment is so calm and refreshing that you cant feel that this is in the middle of the crowded city...This is a must visit if anyone come to Kolkata...

Be aware! No photography allow inside the temple.

One guard here misbehaved with me. He saw one person lie flat on their stomach and do Pranam. I was on my knees and did Pranam. He told me I can’t do so. How can there be a rule just for me and not for the other person. This must be a strategy to get tips. They harass people who have money. Management look into the matter.

Best in Architecture and Sculpture. Nice place and I respect it. But only thing need to do that d committee should take care of d Pandas. They are very irritating. It should be stopped. Otherwise d center of d place wl destroy.

Lovely place .. peaceful place right in the middle of busy town ...

So nice ans peaceful. Only problem is no space for keeping bags at outside...

A must visit place in kolkata. Temple is privately owned and maintained. Parking is available in the neighbouring lane. Shoe keeping is free.

Amongst the concrete jungle and all the hustle and bustle Birla Temple stands out. The beautifully carved facade has an ethereal aura around it . It is very open and spacious and during these difficult days one finds lots of solace.All the covid related protocol are strictly followed. If a person is looking for peace and to connect spiritually with himself and the Universe this is the place.

Loved this place.. A peaceful atmosphere and beautiful temple following covid-19 guidelines....

This mandir is designed entirely with white marble and managed by the staffs really well all the god and goddess statues are dressed so nicely That will blow up your mind just by looking at them they donot allow to click puctures inside the mandirs vacinity so couldnot click much also if you are planning to carry your luggage then will recommend you to donot do that because there is no place to stow your luggage in the mandir clock room.

Marvellous place for worship. The temple is an architectural brilliance. Very neat and clean. Entry cost is free. In this pandemic time, they are allowing maximum of 25 peoples at time. People are required to be in queue by maintaining distance for entering temples premise.Photography is prohibited. But one can capture from outside the temple. The temple authorities urge everyone to switch off phone before entering. There is no designated parking space. One can park their two/four wheeler behind the temple. There are no one to look at the parking road. Besides the road there is quite dark. So youve to park at your own risk. For the first time goers, use Google maps. Its supremely accurate. I went with the help of G maps!

Very nice, beautiful❤️ and calm place to visit

Best Admospere for workship....😇

Nyc temple bt little disappointed they stop me while i was using my mobile

Majestic and peaceful! Spent more than an hour in this amazing place!

Beautiful place to visit, but people are not allowed to stay little longer inside the temple..maybe because of covid I think

The white marbled temple is peaceful abode from the hustles of the city life. The temple is lit during Janmashtami and has devotees coming from different parts during the festive season. The conchshell and the bells bring about a different level of inner peace . Do visit when hopping to the city of joy.

A great temple situated by the birla family! With a great attracting architectural works! Best place for sitting some time to get peace because the best part is they dont allow switched on phones inside! Best time to go there is the evening.

Beautiful Temple in the heart of the City build and maintained by Birla and Family. You feel immense peace as when u enter and sit there for some time. Should Visit once at least if youre in Kolkata- The City of joy. Its architecture actually gives feel that how beautifully it has been carved on stones and even in Kolkatas sultry summer the stones stay cool. Must Visit place

Please don’t go in evening time is permanently closed till further notice simply don’t waste ur valuable time

It would seem that the constitution took 26 years.You cannot take pics from inside the compound.The view is good from the outside

Iam Very nice 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The temple is very good..but we couldnt enter since the info given in google about open in evening is wrong...this temple is nowadays open only in the morning 10-11 a.m.

Its really a good place

Its a beautiful temple.Its in the middle of Kolkata. Good place to visit. Calm, Clean and peaceful.After a long, hectic week, one can go and relax there.Photography is not allowed inside the temple. You can click picture from outside it.

Going around temple and offering prayers do give great satisfaction. Most deities are there. One can offer prayers with social distancing.Due to covid all precautions are taken by temple security at the gate.Good place to invoke Almighty and surrounding is airy with good vibes all around. One should visit as frequently as possible and enjoy going around temple.

The temple is consecrated to the Hindu God Lord Krishna and his consort, Radha.The style of the temple is a mix of both modern and contemporary and resembles the Lingaraj Temple of Bhubhaneshwar. The temple also holds spaces for other Gods, Shiva, Durga, and Shakti. The left side dome of temple houses Godesses Durga and Shakti whereas the right dome of the temple houses Lord Shiva in meditation mode.Verses and Shlokas along with visually appealing pictorial depictions from Bhagavad Gita are engraved on the walls on the marble cravings. Exquisite chandeliers and electric diyas adorn the ceilings, an attestation of ultimate artwork that adds excellent luster and shine to the interiors.Standing tall at 160 feet and spread across an area of around 2,940 square meters of land, the colossal structure was designed by Nomi Bose. The three corn-cob-shaped towers are more impressive for their size than their carvings, whereas, the courtyards are a nice place to sit and spend some time in quiet contemplation.

Nice place... In Kolkata

Everyone visiting Kolkata should definitely come here. Ambience is quite awesome and very clean temple. I always find my peace here.

Nice place. Clean and well maintained.You can feel the peace. Located in Ballygunge. Obeying all covid guidelines.

What a beautiful tamplate. There are some restrictions like you cant allow with bag, camera etc.

5 star for temple but 0 star for restrictions. So average 3 star.

It is a beautiful temple and the architecture is amazing. It opens exact at 4:30 pm and because of the covid you have to make a line at first but its not too big. Cameras are not allowed and you can only stay in the temple for 10 to 15 mins but it will be worth it. Quest Mall, Haldirams, bus stand are all nearby.

Have been visiting BIRLA MANDIR since childhood. This place remains to be serene and peaceful as always.. Post lockdown the norms have changed, maintaining the guidelines one can enter the BIRLA MANDIR and can spent few moments peacefully.

Clean and peaceful place.A great place to visit in evening but currently due to lock down its only open for visiting during 8-11 AM

Did not allow us to sit or stand anywhere in premises. Allowed only to stand for few minutes in front of idols.Person with bag is not allowed inside. No place to keep the bags outside. Cell phones to be switched off before entering. Photography not allowed. Free footwear stand available.

Very beautiful temple. But you cant take photographs inside the temple

Very beautiful temple. It is a very peaceful temple. They allow less people in the temple. You have to wait in a line outside the temple. The architecture of the temple is really impressive. You also can sit in the temple for a short period of time. You can see various god. But mainly It is a Radha Krishna temple. The usage of mobile phone or taking pictures is prohibited.

Im not a particularly religeous person, but I do like to see different places of worship. I found the peace and tranquility of this temple to be quite relaxing, and somehow the place really began to mean something to me. It was nice to see volunteers in the kitchens preparing food for the homeless and poor, of which there are many in Delhi.A very serene and special place. Give yourself time to slowly wander and soak in the atmosphere. Many peaceful spots within the temple for contemplation and prayer.The Laxminarayan Temple, also known as the Birla Mandir is a Hindu Temple where everyone is welcome. It is open everyday and is free to enter. It is one of the biggest Hindu temples of the city. The main temple houses statues of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi. It is huge inside and can hold a lot of people. There are other small shrines around dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Hanuman (the monkey God). There is also a shrine dedicated to Lord Buddha. There are many beautiful drawings and stylised Indian paintings depicting various deities adorning the walls inside. The temple is spread over 7.5 acres with many shrines, fountains, and a large garden with sculptures It is located on the Mandir Marg, situated west of the Connaught Place in New Delhi. It is open from 4:30 am until 1:30 pm and opens again from 2:30 pm to 9.30 pm.Unfortunately it was pouring down for the start of our visit and all the marble floors outside were almost flooded with the rainwater. It was very slippy. It was very cold as you had to take your shoes off to walk around inside. You can take photos outside but before you enter the main temple you are given a locker and key in which to put your phone, camera etc. Although it says no tipping the man by the shoes and lockers holds out his hand for a tip! It is well worth a visit if only to enjoy the wonderful decorative paintings.Date of experience: January 2019

Whenever I visit this place, I find myself in peaceful and positive environment.

This BIRLA MANDIR is very beautiful architecture.It is GOD RADHAKISHAN temple.

Awesome place, its not very large but really good. You would have to switch of the phone when going inside but you can click as many pics as you want from outside. One of the sad thing was that they charge for shoe keeping. I love the structure of the place and would recommend people visiting this place.

Birla temple is very neat And clean place..Very auspicious... 😍😍

It is a great Temple .... it is a wonderful place....the arts of the temple is very nice.....

Beautiful architecture as all the Birla Mandirs have. So calm and peaceful. Beautiful lighting, good management. No unnecessary shops for flowers and Prasad chasing around. Had a good time.

Awesome! Must visit place if you are in kolkata.

You must feel peace in the midst of the busiest city ..just go nd feel

Easy communicable place. At centre of city. Architecture comprises of finer works. But not much to see except the deity idol. No greenery as expected. Disappointing comparing to Birla Temple of other parts of India.

Such an awesome place to get positive vibes ... I suggest go in the evening around 6 pm.. u will get arati mantras ... Such a fantastic environment... U will get mainly radha krisna ... And also shiva and ma sherabali... Also unwill get lord ganesha and bajrang bali ... Besides this u can experince 10 avatars of vagban bisnu....

Very nice temple, one of the most finest architecture, beautiful, delighted place situated middle of the city of joy. Have a great experience atleast once must visit this place. During evening it looks fantastic.

It is beautiful, peaceful. You can visit. Check out the timings though.However, we call it Birla temple. Not by the deitys name but the business man who built it. Shows how we perceive our choice of deities. The monied is the god. Not the actual god for whom it was built.Shameless display and acceptance of money power.

Amazing architecture. Rest temple was closed due to covid norms.

Spetacular and Mind blowing Structure. It’s a pity they don’t allow photography within the property otherwise it would definitely be rated 5 stars purely on its architecture, design, build and materials used. Well worth a visit!

The magnificent Birla Mandir of Kolkata is an exemplary work of art. It is one of the finest architectural beauties of the city. The indigenous craftsmanship of the temple is the hallmark of its grandeur. It represents a beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary art. The temple is also a revered place of worship and devotion.

Very calm and peaceful place,you can visit this place to reduce your traffic of life.

Beautiful and peaceful place

Very neat & clean .peaceful environment.During covid few people are allowing to visit the temple at a time.

Amazing vibes ❤️Must visit this place once !!

Lord Krishna Temple. One of the best temple in Kolkata. Should be there in your list when you visit Kolkata.

A silent temple right in the heart of the city.. Krishna, devi, siva, hanuman, ganpathi and all avathars of Lord Mahavishnu is there at the temple.. superb architecture

Birla Mandir everywhere in India are beautiful designed and engraved. One must visit it in night as it looks more beautiful in light and has a lot more peace because of subtle weather in the evening. It is centrally located so commuting will never be a problem.

Excellent place 👌👌

Nicely built and must visit place in kolkata but visit in morning hours Only

A beautiful temple with serenity.There is plenty place where you can sit and enjoy the view. Photography is prohibited.

Temple is very beautifull and in this corona time, security and authority are taking good care of social distancing and sanitising.
