A very calming and peaceful place( just as a temple should be). It is a very beautiful and clean temple where you can sit down and meditate/ pray peacefully.

The Birla Mandir is built in a contemporary style & has three impressive shikhars. Shlokas & pictorial depictions from the Bhagavad Gita are engraved on the marble walls.
All the idols inside – Radha Krishna, Shiv, Durga, Shakti, Hanuman, Ganesh, Dashavtars – are bewitching!
Visit at the time of the aarti.
Note – Photography is prohibited inside. Cell phones have to be switched off. The shoe counter is located at the bottom of the stairs.

Visited on Dec 2021 with my family. We clubbed some shopping at Gariahat and a festival at Ice skating rink beside Birla museum. We walk all through to this temple, visited and the proceed towards Gariahat area. Birla temple is famous now, a sightseeing spot loved by the Kolkata visitors. Keep 1 to 2 hours in hand for experiencing it fully. Worth visit.

Each Temple built by the Birla family is unique and this one in Kolkata was as special as the rest I have seen across India. This one is perhaps a bit smaller but one gets a very peaceful feeling whilst inside.
Strongly urge travellers to Kolkata to pay a visit

Large marble temple. Very clean, quiet, nice feel.
There is a row of secondary shrines on the side - the 10 incarnations.

I want to get married on 10th Oct 2018 in birla mandir
Request for the total charges and rituals and how to book my name in the register

I understand that because of the ongoing civil works at the Birla Temple in Ballygunge they are not in a position to conduct marriage ceremonies for the next 1 to 1.1/2 months. However, you may contact them directly either personally or on phone. Their telephone number is 033-2461 5717.
Wish you all the best.
Is camera allowed inside ?

The security personnel present at the entrance gate would tell you to switch-off your mobile phone while entering the temple. Also if you ask the person whether photos can be clicked inside temple or not, he would tell you that it is not allowed to take photos inside.

The temple is open in the morning from 5.30 A.M. to 11 A.M. and in the evening from 4 .30 P.M. to 9 P.M
There is a no closing day and can be accessed on all days.
You can expect extra rush at Janmashtami as it is primarily a Vishnu/Krishna temple.
Hope this information helps.. :)
