Built a quarter of a century ago, exclusively with marble procured from Rajasthan, the Birla Temple is devoted to Lord Venkateswara, known as Balaji in the south. The temple, on the Kala Pahad (hill) displays a fusion of South Indian and Rajasthani architecture. The 11 ft colossal figure of Lord Venkateswara in the sanctum sanctorum is sculpted in black granite.
