Radhasoami Temple

                          Discover the Golden temple of Agra

The Radhasoami faith starting from Agra in the nineteenth century has millions of followers today, Agra a city better known for the Taj Mahal Tour also has a monument that is widely known as the Golden Temple of Agra and this is the famous Dayalbagh Agra. It is the samadhi (memorial) of the founder of the Radha Soami faith Swami Shiv Dayal Ji.
         



Starting in the year 1905 this memorial took more than 110 years in actual for completion, built-in white marble this is a standing tribute to the founder, The excellent marble craftsmen toiled for more than 110 years to construct this is beautiful architectural monuments Hundred years back when there were no modern machines the artisans started and worked only with hand tools, The same art of inlay work which made the Taj mahal famous has been witnessed over here.

But there is a little difference between the Radhasoami memorial and Tajmahal as three-dimensional sculptures representing the flowers, fruits,vegetables come alive. Green grapes, blue flowers made from blue stone lapis lazuli make the sculptures lifelike.


Generations of workers toiled day in and day out to construct this marvel, Many doubted that this memorial will ever be finished but by the grace of almighty after so many years this memorial has been opened for the general public now when you visit Tajmahal you can also visit and pay homage over here.


The gold finial on top of the huge dome is not only huge but is a masterpiece made from more than four quintal of solid gold the design is that of an inverted lotus and it amazes the onlookers.


The huge dome inside the memorial gets the onlooker dumbstruck, excellent carvings inside shine bright during the day time. Underneath the huge domes are the real memorial where life-size pictures of the spiritual master are situated and the devotees
