GITA TEMPLE

Gita Temple is built on the banks of Triveni Sangam and is dedicated to Lord Krishna. As per mythology, when Lord Krishna was shot by an arrow at Bhalka Tirth, he walked towards Triveni Sangam and took rest right at the place where Gita Temple is built. There is footprint carving of Lord Krishna here too in the divine memory of his Needham Prasthan Leela.

The temple’s current white marble structure was built by the Birla Group and hence is also referred to as “Birla Mandir ''. The 18 marble pillars at the temple portray the Bhagavad Gita by beautiful inscriptions on them. The temple is built in a way that one can hear his own echo within the temple.
