TULSI MANAS TEMPLE |
 |
Next to the Durga temple is this modern marble sikhara-style temple. Built in 1964, the walls of the temple are engraved with verses and scenes from the Ram Charit Manas, the Hindi version of the Ramayana. This tells of the history and deeds of Rama. Its medieval author, Tulsi Das, lived here while writing it and died in 1623. On the 2nd floor you can watch the production of moving and performing statues and scenes from Hindu mythology. If you are at all familiar with figures from the Ramayana or Mahabharata, you will find a visit here very enjoyable. Wonderful landscaping around the temple adds to its appeal. Non-Hindus are allowed into this temple. |
