The current temple was considered one of examples of modern architecture of its time. On ground floor you will see column beams of bricks present this element further reinforced with steel bars. Modern Kiln Bricks used in ground floor construction, which further plastered with lime.The structure consists of single story square “Sanctum” which was designed for placing the housing deity. In sanctum room corner squinches portion filled with extended flower bouquet element made of lime. Around all four sides of sanctum assembly hall for devotees present in Hindu terminology it is called “Ayatana”From square sanctum structure main temple curvilinear spire (tower, sikhara) is raised, which is common type of northern Indian Shrines (Latinas). For construction of curvilinear spire small dimensions bricks used which are different from ground floor of temple.A crowning ornament on the top of the shikara is present; it is called “amalaka” in Hindu terminology this support embedded spire which might be gold plated at start of its construction.On external walls of temples you will see double facet a vertical offset projection. In Hindu temple architecture it is called “ratha”.In front of main temple building there is dome shaped structure present, on first impression it looks like a Sikh Samadhi. However, it is said that this building was used by Pandit of the temple as residence.Haunted and Paranormal Activities :-This mandir main complex is closed with 15 ft high walls on three sides, whereas on fourth side there is a girl school building present, the only way to reach this mandir was left from inside of this school in form of narrow path. The mandir site is abandoned for more than half century nobody normally enter inside. Interestingly except my blog you will not find any picture of this mandir which has taken from inside. i went peacefully and did detailed photography to document the place. When i came out, the watchman of adjacent school started conversation with us, i was appreciating at least a boundary wall is constructed to protect the place from further collapsing. But his answer left me in a paradox condition that boundary wall is not made for protection or conservation of this site. Adjacent neighbours in recent years have observed serious paranormal activities happening inside this temple. i wished to accuse the watchman that he should have told this before allowing us to visit but i thought nothing is done now.Integrity and Current ConditionThe current condition is very bad the ground floor column, beam and slab were demolished in response of Babri Masjid Shaheed in 1992; the structure is dangerous to visit from inside and could be collapsed at any time

Shri Krishna is the God of love and peace. Pakistan needs to maintain the temples and promote preachings of Shri Krishna - The narrator of Bhagwat Geeta. He tought Dharma to the world, if you read his preachings you will find Quran and Bible to be actually subsets of what Krishna ji said.I am sure by doing this purity, peace and honesty will return to Pakistan.
