Purva Tirupati Shri Balaji Temple

Set amid mighty mountains and rolling lawns, this temple is one of the most significant religious sites in Guwahati. Built in 1994 by Sri Jayendra Saraswati as an august homage to Shri Balaji, this picturesque temple boasts an architectural style which is likened to those of the temples down south. Its pristine white visage is guarded by an enormous gate called Rajagopuram, the temple shelters a glorious statue of Lord Balaji which is skillfully carved out of a single stone. Fervent chants pervade the sacred recesses of the temple whose beauty is accentuated by the lush park by its side. Home to another smaller gopuram and statues of deities like Goddess Padmavati and Garuda, the Purva Tirupati Shri Balaji Temple is where a strong religious tenor marries eternal aesthetics and architectural brilliance.
