EME Temple, often referred as the Dakshinamurti Temple, was built by the
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (EME) Corps. Featuring an
unusually modern geodesic architecture, this temple is dedicated to
Dakshinamurti, a form of Shiva as supreme teacher. It is run by Indian
Army Authorities, and incorporates holy symbols of all religions in one
place as they do not have separate places of worship for different
faiths.
Depicting army architecture, the aluminum building of this temple is
ringed by a garden featuring a rich collection of 106 ancient statues
from the 6th to the 16th centuries.
This is uncommonly modern-looking temple, however, built with holy
symbols from various religions.
The EME temple houses an idol of Lord Dakshinamurthi. The idol faces the
south and is believed to impart his teachings to the world, facing that
direction. The whole place is surrounded by acres of lush green peaceful
environment drives you through a true holistic experience.
