This is the only existing temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. Built in the 14th century, it stands on a high plinth with marble steps leading
up to it. A silver turtle is set on the floor facing the sanctum-sanctorum or garbha-griha. Around the turtle, the marble floor is inset
with hundreds of silver coins. Coins engraved with donor's names are also embedded in the walls.
Peacocks adorn the temple walls as they are supposed to be the vehicle of Lord Brahama's consort Saraswati.
The sanctuary has silver doors inside a carved marble gateway. |
