Shree Laxmi Narayan Mandir, Kurukshetra

One of the revered tourist places in Kurukshetra, this shrine dedicated to the Narayana Avatar of Shri Vishnu and his consort Goddess Laxmi was erected in the 12th century while the Cholas were the reigning dynasty in this region, and was restored in the 16th century.

The Kalash that was originally placed on this temple is said to have been made of gold, but the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb plundered it. The temple is constructed so that the first ray of the rising sun touches the deity’s feet. Devotees firmly believe that completing seven circumambulations around this temple will give them the result equivalent to the Char Dham Yatra.
