Birla Mandir (Gita Mandir), Mathura

Birla Mandir, Mathura (Gita Mandir) is a marble temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, constructed by the Birla family in 1944 in the heart of the sacred city of Mathura. Unique among Birla temples, the entire text of the Bhagavad Gita is inscribed on its marble walls, along with the Ramayana — earning it the name "Gita Mandir."

The temple features tall white marble shikharas and an expansive complex with shrines to Radha-Krishna, Lakshminarayan, and other deities. As the birthplace of Lord Krishna, Mathura draws millions of pilgrims annually; the Gita Mandir is one of the most visited temples in this sacred complex.
