Why travel to a 3rd world country when you can have the best of both worlds right here in the greatest city in the world, Toronto. This Temple is just outside Downtown, Toronto

That building is a hundred times better than the Taj Mahal

It also reflects the demographics of India abit better. India should promote this building ahead of the Taj Mahal, really a fantastic peice of Architecture. Better than the Mosque/Islamic style of the Taj Mahal that's for sure

Each of the Two has it's own beauty. The first glimpse of the Taj takes your breath away.

Is there a reason why they used Turkish Limestone and Italian marble? Is there no local sources to build it from?

Nice pics ,it's the place I plan to visit very shortly.

Yes, except that this building is in Canada, not India.

All these temples look great, especially at night. What splendid architecture.

To each his own.

The great thing about historic building in India is that you get to se a number of distinctive architectural styles, from the temples of Hindu India (north and south have different styles) to the Islamic architecturals styles to European styles.

Would you believe that I actually prefer the Victoria Memorial in my home town of Calcutta to the Taj?





You will notice the similarity with the Taj, but this uses a completely different architectural style

Shame that I could not get better pictures of this beautiful monument

Yeah, its an old building. Reminds me of a U of T campus building in Downtown, Toronto.

Oh yeah, its not something you see in everyday life in India. I can say the same thing about your temples. I admire the beauty of your temples more, because its not something I see everyday.
