A beautiful and serene temple located at the heart of the bustling city. The temple premises are very neat and clean. The temple has idols of Radha-Krishna, Shiv ji, Durga maa, Hanuman ji, Ganesh ji, and different avatars of Krishna. The temple is well maintained and has a divine atmosphere. The pandits and working staff are polite and strict about cleanliness. Photography is strictly prohibited inside the temple. In the evening, the aarti starts at sharp 6pm everyday. There is a place to keep shoes at the downstairs of the temple.

No words about the beauty of the mandir.
I have seen a guard misbehaved with a tourist. They allow to entry with small hand back but shoulder back not allowed. There are no separate place to bags. Mobile allowed but capture of photos from inside the temple is prohibited 🚫. You can donate money by UPI with the QR code attached at many places. Entry is free.

Nothing to say much, just amazing temple with amazing view in heart of the city. Anyone would love the place, feels like any temple of Odisha. Soo beautiful and peaceful vibes inside there. You can spend as much time there but try to go before 11.00 am or after 4.00pm. Don't carry bags because they will not allow or have facility to keep baggage.
Beautiful architecture in the middle of city Kolkata.

This place is healing my soul.. 😇 People come from far and wide to visit the temple. It is a Hindu temple, its environment is very calm and beautiful, there are also pooja arrangements. Outside the temple there is a shop for puja items. Loved watching the Aarti in the evening. Photography is prohibited inside.

The temple is opened from 5 am to 10 pm. Pics are not allowed inside so you need to turn your phone off, and shoes can be kept outside in the shoes counter. Evening time is best to visit here. 🙏🙏

This is a temple for worship our god not some reel making or content making place. If you really believe in god and can respect the temple then go here. Calm place but one prblm is with the place where u can put your belonging. Thats system is awful. Otherwise very mesmerizing temple

A heritage temple of Radha Krishna.
No tickets are required to enter here and hardly there is any line during weekdays.
The place is devotional hence clicking photo is not allowed inside the temple premises.
Good management and overall one finds peace after entering here

Birla Mandir in Kolkata is a magnificent temple that exudes a sense of serenity and grandeur. The temple showcases intricate architectural beauty and craftsmanship. The marble facade, adorned with intricate carvings, leaves visitors awe-inspired. As you step inside, a divine ambiance greets you, complemented by the soothing chants and the aroma of incense. The main deity, Lord Krishna, is beautifully adorned, and devotees offer their prayers with utmost devotion. The temple's peaceful atmosphere provides solace to the weary soul, making it a must-visit spiritual destination in Kolkata. Birla Mandir is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and a haven for spiritual seekers.

Very well maintained temple with nice architecture. You are not allowed to carry your bag inside the temple. Photography is completed prohibited within the temple. Priests were taking donation not within donation boxes rather they were collecting it separately.
