I would like to focus on the temple situated in VELLORE, TAMIL NADU. The temple is of goddess Lakshmi narayani. The 'golden temple', the Mahalakshmi temple, located on a sprawling 100 acres of land at Sripuram, near Vellore, has been constructed by Vellore-based Sri Narayani Peetam, The temple, covering 55,000 sq ft, has intricate carvings and sculptures in gold. Except for the pathway, the entire structure has been made of gold and copper. About 400 goldsmiths and coppersmiths, including craftsmen from Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanam, have completed the architectural marvel in gold in six years. The approximate cost of the temple is Rs 600 crore. Surrounded by mountains and lush and scenic beauty, the temple, entirely conceived "The temple is Amma's gift to mankind," the sources said. For pictures of the temple please type golden temple vellore in google. There are many websites describing the temple. Can be searched on web.
