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.
