A temple for every prayer

What could complement the splendour of the Moorish Mosque and the State Gurudwara in Kapurthala? Of course, another temple. But not just any temple−the one comprising five small temples, each adding its own unique charm.

Welcome to Panch Mandir, where five idols can be paid obeisance from the silver entry door itself! Built during the reign of Sardar Fateh Singh Ahluwalia, the temple's magnificence is its ethereal beauty, particularly during the day when the first rays illuminate the idol of the Sun God, and again at night when its sacred walls glow under the gentle moonlit nights.

Its architectural marvel has garnered such acclaim that it boasts a rare honour−a replica in the museum in Lahore, Pakistan. Such is the temple’s significance that transcends borders and captivates hearts across lands.
