Architecture

The temple is known for its unique architectural style and beautiful idols of the deities. It is constructed in a three-dome, which makes it appear like a mosque. Another admiring feature of the Sitaram Mandir in Gurgaon is that it also works like a Gurudwara. The temple is spread over a large area and is built using pebble stone. Inside the temple, huge pillars made of stones could be seen. Visitors can find numerous inscriptions inside the Sitaram Mandir. Around 31 articles have been carved on the walls of the temple in Pali and Sanskrit language which looks very beautiful.

Religious Significance

Legend has it that when Rama and Lakshman reached Janakpuri with Sage Vishwamitra, King Janak welcomed them warmly. The next day Rama and Sita chanced upon each other in the palace gardens. Soon, Sita's swayamvar was being held in which King Janak announced that the man who would successfully string Lord Shiva's bow, Pinaka, would win Sita's hand in marriage. Kings and princes from numerous kingdoms tried unsuccessfully. The bow wouldn't budge and no man could even lift the bow, leave alone string it. Then Vishwamitra asked Rama to try his hand at stringing the Pinaka. Rama sought his teacher's blessings and went forth. He easily lifted the bow and tied the string. As he tested it, the bow broke. The resounding crash that the breaking of the bow caused brought Parashuram to the palace. Furious that Shiva's bow had been broken, he was eventually pacified when he realized that Rama was an avatar of Vishnu. Sita then garlanded Rama and they got married.

History

This fort temple is mostly in ruins now, although a few parts have been restored by ASI and the temple committee reflects the magnificence of the Mughal era when it was flourishing.
