Peaceful ...

Shankar Viman Mandapam Temple

Devotees take a boat ride at the Triveni Sangam, 
Shankar Viman Mandapam Temple in background. 

The Shankar Viman Mandapam, gracefully perched near the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, is a remarkable temple that blends Southern Indian architectural elegance with spiritual depth. Built in traditional Dravidian style, the temple stands tall as a four-storeyed structure, 
and is dedicated primarily to Lord Shiva, revered here as Shankar.
