Shree Lakshi Narayan Temple (Optional)

While open to all Hindus, this temple is mainly patronized by North Indians who built it. This temple is thus built in the North Indian architectural style (contrast that to other Hindu temples you've visited).

We found that this temple was very plain and did not have intricate designs like the other Hindu temples. We were amazed to find that it was even a temple as it looked so plain that we assumed it was any other building. The colours were also plain and there was only muted colours.

What is the name of the beehive-shaped tower?

It is called the Kalish.

How different are the gateways?

The gateways, like mentioned above were really simple and did not put across explicitly that it was a temple. Other Hindu temples that we went to had extravagant gateways such as glossy wooden doors with multiple bells. However, this temple only had a plain black gate.
