About the Temple


The king, it is said, came into the close contract of a sage called Shri Sant dass. Those were the last days of the King’s rule. This sage Sant Dass was the great devotee of Laxmanji and always remained dedicated to him. It is said that soon after the foundation of the temple was laid Maharaja Baldev Singh who had in fact founded it, declared his son Balwant Singh as his successor king. Thus Maharaja Balwant Singh in his rule got the temple constructed. The idols were enshrined in the Vikram Samvat 1947 (1890 A.D.). The Laxmanji temple of Deeg according to its pujari Pandit Murari Lal Prashar, is older than this temple and the royal family of Bharatpur regards both the Laxmanji temples as their royal temples.

The Bharatpur temple is made of almond color sand stone of Bansi Phadpur. The temple is on the first storey. In this temple ornamental work and floral patterns have been encarved. Jagmohan and Garbhagriha are also present. In front, there is a big open Courtyard. Although for all Hindus, this temple is held in great veneration, but for those who hold Lord Ram and Laxman as their personal deity. This is a special importance. Here not only the local visitors but also foreigners in large number come to see this beautiful work of art.

Since the temple is a rare work of art and not many temples are dedicated to Lord Laxman are found, this Laxman temple and also the Laxman temple of Deeg must be declared heritage temples. Since the Deeg temple of Laxmanji is older, it requires immediate repair work to prevent it from decay and destruction. The Laxman temples must be dearly preserved.
