Birla Mandir

One of Hyderabad's most popular temples, the Birla Mandir was built in 1976, and is young, fashionably clean, made of 100% pristine and super-smooth marble, and surrounded by neat little rose gardens and manicured lawns. The materialistic connotations of its nomenclature notwithstanding, devotees throng here day in and day out, elders and toothless babies in tow.
