Gita Temple

For adherents of the Hindu religion, the Gita Temple in Gujarat, India, is a revered site of prayer and pilgrimage. It is dedicated to Lord Krishna, who is thought to be the Bhagavad Gita's author and is situated in the Gujarati town of Gondal in the Rajkot district.

With a white marble front and elaborate carvings and sculptures that represent scenes from the Bhagavad Gita, the temple complex is a spectacular architectural treasure. The Birla family, one of India's wealthiest and most charitable families, who are renowned for their donations to the arts, healthcare, and education, erected the temple in the early 1970s.
