Binsar Mahadev Mandir, Ranikhet

We were on the way from Pratiksha River Retreat, Jim Corbett to Chevron Eco Lodge at Kausani.Binsar Mahadev Mandir was just a few Kilometers from the main road and as we were told it was a place worth visiting so we diverted and went to see Swargashram Binsar Mahadev Mandir.Built-in a beautiful location amid dense and lush deciduous forest white and red complex Swargashram Binsar Mahadev Mandir stands out.About six or seven temples have been constructed in a very small area. After reaching the temples on the first floor, reached after climbing a staircase, one feels that they have been built on top of the other two temples as one can see the top half of the shikhara of those temples sticking out of the floor courtyard in front of these temples.When we went there a fairly large family was conducting a ceremonial puja and there was an atmosphere of faith and reverence. We also took darshan of most of the Gods residing there and sought their blessings.Architecturally there is nothing worth mentioning. The way seemed to have been built one on top of the other in a hotchpotch way. No thought seemed to have been given to the esthetics of temple building. The amount of satisfaction in visiting this place would be directly proportional to the faith of the individual.A lost opportunity to build something nice.
