―Durgiana Temple

Though dedicated to Goddess Durga, it also houses idols of Lakshmi, Vishnu, Shiva, and Hanuman.

History of the Temple

Originally built in the 16th century, the temple was rebuilt in 1921 by Guru Harshai Mal Kapoor, with its foundation stone laid by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya.

The site is associated with the Ramayana legend where Lava and Kusha tied Hanuman at a tree in the courtyard after capturing the Ashvamedha horse. The land is also believed to have been used by King Ikshvaku for yajnas (sacrificial rituals).

Architecture of the Temple

Designed with architectural similarity to the Golden Temple, it is built in the middle of a sacred sarovar (pond) measuring approximately 160 m × 130 m, and accessed using a white marble bridge.

The gold-plated central dome, marble façade, and massive silver-engraved entrance doors (12 × 12 ft) earn it the name “Silver Temple”.

Inside are shrines of Lakshmi–Narayan, Ram Darbar, Radha–Krishna, and various smaller temples including Sitla Mata, Bada Hanuman, and Tulsidas Mandir which houses a handwritten Ramayana.
