Durgiana Temple

Amritsar has been known as the land of holy shrines. Its cultural and religious heritage has attracted many tourists over the years. Dedicated to Maa Durga, Durgiana Temple is also famous as Lakshmi Narayan Temple, which is a well known repository of Hindu scriptures. The remarkable thing about this temple is its appearance which is modelled on the Golden Temple. Its main shrine is rising from the midst of a tank, the central dome covered with gold, and the rest of the structure clad in marble. The temple also beautifully expresses the holy aura of Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu through its magnificent imagery. Located near Lohgarh gate, this temple is also called Silver temple because of its beautifully engraved silver doors. The foundation stone of Durgiana Temple was laid by the freedom fighter Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya which was rebuilt in the 20th century.
