This famous EME temple is situated in the Fatehgunj, army cantonment area in
the city of Vadodara. It can be easily reached by hired auto rickshaws from any corner of the Vadodara city. The soldiers of the Indian army, stationed at the Vadodara city have built this unique temple in the year 1974. The top roof is circular in shape and is made up of the aluminium scrape sheets, which were collected at the army warehouse. The roof has a diameter of around 75 feet. The statue of Lord Dakshinamurti, which is said to be the reincarnation of Lord Shiva facing south, is put here at the temple. Normally, all Lord Shiva temples would have Lord Shiva Lingam positioned inside the temple, but it is not so here. The Lord Dakshinamurti statue placed here is made of black stone and really looks very impressive. The temple is situated in the vast area and the most beautiful garden all around this temple presents the most scenic view. There are also statues of Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, and Amba Mata kept in the main temple. There are 24 other statues of various gods installed all around the main temple. The sweet Shiva Stotra is continuously played on a sophisticated music system, with the mikes put in all the corners of the temple. The effect of this holy music is simply great and inspires all the visitors to go in to deep meditation. The visitors need to take full round of the main temple to view all the 24 statues of the gods installed.
