Birla Mandir is aHindu temple built on a 280 feet (85 m) high hillock calledNaubath Pahad also known as “Mohabat Pahad” in early days on a 13 acres (53,000 m²) plot inHyderabad, Telangana, India. The construction took ten years and was opened in 1976 by SwamiRanganathananda ofRamakrishna Mission. The temple was constructed by theBirla Foundation, which has also constructed several similar temples across India, all known asBirla Mandir.

The temple manifests a blend ofDravidian,Rajasthani andUtkala architectures. It is constructed of 2000 tons of pure white marble. The granite idol of presidingdeity LordVenkateswara is about 11 ft (3.4 m) tall, and a carvedlotus forms an umbrella on the top. A brass flagstaff in the temple premises rises to a height of 42 ft. (13 m). The temple does not have traditional bells, as Swami Ranganathananda wished that the temple atmosphere should be conducive to meditation.

Apart from the main shrine, the consorts of Lord Venkateswara, Padmavati and Andal are housed in separate shrines. The temple also has separate shrines for variousDeva andDevi, includingShiva,Shakti,Ganesh,Hanuman,Brahma,Saraswati andLakshmi. Selected teachings of men andGurbani are engraved on temple walls. Birla temples are open to all, as identified byMahatma Gandhi and other Hindu leaders.
