Sri Venkateshwara Temle, Birmingham

Balaji Temple in Birmingham is a famous hindu temple which houses all deities - Venkateshwara as main idol alongside Lakshmi, Ganesh, Murugan, Shirdi Sai Baba, Easwar (Lingam), Navagraha, and Hanuman.

The temple is set in a 21 acre site, they do daily poojas and read slokas everyday.  

Located in Tividale, Oldbury, this is just few miles away from M5 (Motorway) in Birmingham.  The temple campus also has a small south indian cafe catering to the needs of visitors.  They serve hot dosa, idly and vada!  
Another reason to visit Birmingham!!!

  2. Nice construction. If they had built it in India, the view might not have been so clear for you to take a photo. It would be filled with devotees!

  4. We had visited this temple and liked it a lot. Yes, as D.I. says, it was not crowded and that added the attraction for us. I remember the beautiful carved pillars inside the temple.

    Your pictures are lovely, Vaish.

  8. Looks so serene... it would be so blissful to pray here! Such a contrast to the Indian temples which are overcrowded (always) and mostly poorly managed in terms of cleanliness etc!
