About
Gita Mandir, also known as Birla Mandir Mathura, is a modern temple on Rameshwar Road in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. It was built in marble by the industrialist Jugal Kishore Birla, and it stands as a calm, carefully finished place of worship in a city rich in older temples.
What to expect
The temple is known for its carved marble work. Its walls carry inscribed verses from the Bhagavad Gita, which give the visit a reflective character even for those who come simply to look around. The building's clean, light-coloured stone makes it easy to see the detail of the carving up close.
Why visit
- A modern marble temple with decorative carving
- Verses from the Bhagavad Gita inscribed on the walls
