Thought there are over a dozen Birla Mandir in India, but the one in Pilani is unique in many ways. The first, its the only Birla Mandir where the mein deity is devi Saraswati, the godess of knowledge and Music. Secondly, this temple is located in Pilani, which is a small town in Jhunjhanun district of Rajasthan with the world wide foot print in education.

Located just outside the city, this temple is so serene and calm that one can foget himself and become one with the glory of godess Saraswati. Large white marbled temple is picture perfect in all aspects. Almost every visitor reported a feeling of deep meditation and spiritual enlightenment after visiting this temple.
