On our way to the famous Kali Ghat temple, we stopped at the Birla Mandir. Made out of white marble, the Hindu temple had some beautiful details. Built from 1970-1996, it was commissioned by the wealthy Birla industrialist family. In contrast to much of the city, there was a feeling of tranquility here.
This was the second Birla Mandir I had visited, the first being in Delhi. Its architectural style resembled the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar.

Great photo, Melissa, and I can't tell you how much I envy you for standing there in short sleeves and barefoot...and just being in India.
Great photo.Thanks for stopping at Birla mandir. It is a temple built by the industrialist Birla family. On Janmashtami Birla Mandir Kolkata , note large number of devotees coming from far away places to pay their respect to the deities.
