Shree Lakshmi Narayan Temple


At first, it was a challenge to look out for the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Temple because the temple did not look like the other temples we went to. We did not realise that we stood only a few metres away from the temple up till one of us pointed the name out.


As you can see, the architecture of the temple is very different from the other temples we have been throughout the trail. It different because this temple was founded by the North Indian communities and the architecture resembles the North Indian architecture. One clear distinction between the features of the temple is that this temple has a beehive-shaped tower (Shikhara) while the other Indian temples we have seen has a pyramid-shaped tower (Gopuram). Another difference is that the gateways of these temples are different. The gateway to enter the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Temple is merely a gate which leads straight into the temple but as compared to the other Indian temples, the other temples have a pathway leading to the temple instead.
