Bhakt Shiromani Shri Devkinandan and Shakti Swarupa Devi Gayatri's newly built “Aashirwad Mandir” on the premises of the holy land of Shri Panchdev Temple of Jhunjhunu is a wonderful example of marvelous sculptures and panoramic carvings of architectural crafts. By establishment of this temple in the Panchdev temple premises, it seems that heaven has descended in the entire temple complex.

This temple is built in the Nagar style of ancient sculpture, according to which the measurement of length, width and height are determined on the basis of vastu shastra after calculating according to the direction and constellations. Iron or steel has not been used in this temple. The shape is provided by simply adding the stones to the weight of the stones.




On entering this magnificent temple made of white marble stones of Makrana (Rajasthan), a spiritual feeling awakens in everyone's mind. The temple is adorned with five domes including the main spire. The huge white spire and the accompanying small samarans (domes) are visible from afar, which give a divine bliss to the devotees. The temple is built in four parts - the sanctum sanctorum with ardha-mandapa, rang-mandapa, antaralaya and parikrama.




In the main middle dome (rang-mandap), Indian architecture and ancient sculpture becomes alive. The idols of Gandharvas performing dance on its circular roof seem to be speaking. From here the sanctum sanctorum begins to be seen, where the devotees get joyous as soon as they see the varad mudra of the divine srivigrha (idols) of Bhakt Sriromani Devkinandan and Shakti Swarupa Devi Gayatri.




The artistic mandovar (walls) around the sanctum sanctorum looks very elegant. On the walls of the parikrama-path, the life characters and important events of the Bhakt Devkinandan and Devi Gayatri are carved in stones, which fascinates the visitors and they get lost in the deep mysteries of those inspiring episodes.


The temple has nice looking carved pillars all around, on which magnificent idols of Vedic and Pouranic devotees, sages, saints and scholars have been engraved. Each pillar is adorned with beautiful torans (pylons). Every stone in the temple seems to speak. There are three gates to enter the shrine and with a total of nine gavaksh (windows and vents), the outer wall of the temple is also very appealing.
