Shri Durgiana Tirth, Amritsar

Durgiana Mandir is a few yards away from Railway Station & about 1.5 km from the Bus Stand. The idea to built Shree Durgiana Mandir as it stands today was the brain child of Gur Shai Mal Kapoor, a great visionary and religious minded person. His statue in monumental alabaster in a sitting posture has been established just opposite the main entrance or Darshani Deori. The foundation stone of the te

mple was laid down by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in 1924 on Ganga Dashmi day.
