Geetai Mandir

This unique temple is a marvelous work of architecture and ingenious design.

This temple does not have the traditional ceilings and floorings. The sky is the ceiling, the earth represents the flooring. Inside the temple, there is a small tank of flowing water. The Sun provides light. This way Geetai Mandir seems to be a temple of 'Panchatatva' ie. air, fire, water, earth and sky.

The 'Shlokas' are engraved on the polished stones of Geetai Mandir. The 'Geetai' has 18 sections. Every stone carries one Shloka each of Geetai.

The engraved stones are so arranged that the front view of this temple resembles a 'Charkha' and the rear structure resembles the 'cow'.

The temple complex also houses the permanent exhibition on Shri. Jamnalal Bajaj & Aacharya Vinoba Bhave.

Geetai = Acharya Vinobaji Bhave translated the 'Bhagvada Gita' into Marathi. The book is called 'Geetai' i. e., 'Geeta + Aai' (Mother in the Marathi Language).
