Jhulelal Tirthdham at Narayan Sarovar
Material / Technique • Natural local stone, Marble stone, Lime mortar & plaster and wood work
The Jhulelal Temple, located near Narayan Sarovar, holds great religious significance for the Sindhi community due to its proximity to Pakistan. Given the saline nature of the region, the temple was envisioned to stand for the next century. To achieve this, a modern design incorporating natural stone, marble, and wood as the primary materials was proposed.
The sanctum of the temple was constructed using marble stone and lime mortar, while the walls of the pradakshinapatha (circumambulation path) were built using the corbel technique. The outer walls of the temple were made from locally sourced stone. A wooden bridge connects the shrine area to the passage leading to it, providing a seamless transition.
The design of the temple was created by NilaA Architecture & Urban Design. The detailed working drawings, structural design and implementation were carried out by Sankalan & So Hath-100 Hands Team. Additionally, local artisans made significant contributions to the construction of the temple.
