The Main Temple
After we entered the main compound, you will see a beautiful garden covered with a wide variety of flowers.
After a short walk through a concrete path, you will reach the main temple compound.
The Temple is located above a small lake. The main structure of the temple is connected to the main ground via a bridge. You will have to walk over the bridge to reach the main temple.
The most unique thing about this temple which I loved the most is that this place doesn’t have just one temple but consists of various small temples around the main block.
The entire premise consists of various idols like Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga to Buddha, Mother Mary, and Jesus. Thus this place depicts the diversity of various religions.
Taking photos inside the main temple is strictly prohibited.
After you enter the main temple you will have to go to an underground floor. There you will see various hand symbols of various Asana positions depicted on the wall with a statue of Lahiri Baba in the Middle.
You will also get to see the depiction of the plan based on which the temple was built.
