The best time to visit Hyderabad is from September to March Hyderabad's best tourist attractions are


Birla Mandir

God’s Marble Home






Birla Mandhir is one of the best tourist spot in Hyderabad.An enchanting temple dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, the Birla Mandir stands in all its grandeur on the hilltop of Kalapahad.Made of pure white marble from Rajasthan.Beautiful scenes from the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata are finely sculpted in marble.

Its located very near to Hussain sagar lake.a must visit location for tourists who visit Hyderabad.so we decided to visit this temple.so we started one Sunday evening .we reached there and i was very happy to see that temple which is made of pure white marble from rajasthan.Beautiful scenes from the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata are finely sculpted in marble. I think nearly 200 steps r there to reach the top and lift is also available for aged persons.Along the path are many a marble statue of gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology located in the gardens with full of blossoms.There we can see lord ganapathy ,lord hanuman,lord Shiva.but this temple is mainly dedicated to lord Venkateswara.Saturday is the very special day for lord Venkateswara.we can see heavy rush also in Saturday.we spent nearly 3 hrs there.we enjoyed very much and we had a nice and pleasant darshan.The entire complex, the walls and the upper gallery are full of paintings carried out by artists .And the temple was very nice,especially the evening breeze blowing in with mantras all around.finally i thought this is the best tourist spot.

A trip to Hyderabad remains incomplete without a visit to this Temple
