Shri Durgiana Mandir Punjabi: ਸ਼à©à¨°à©€ ਦà©à¨°à¨—ਿਆਨਾ ਮੰਦਿਰ Hindi: शà¥à¤°à¥€ दà¥à¤°à¥à¤—ियाना मंदिर, is a Hindu temple situated in the city of Amritsar, Punjab, India.[1] Though a Hindu temple, its architecture is similar to the Sikh Harmandir Sahib Golden Temple. This temple derives its name from the Goddess Durga, the chief Goddess who is worshipped here. Murtis of Lakshmi and Vishnu are also located and worshipped in the temple. Although it is believed that Durgiana Mandir was built in 1921, the temple existed before it was rebuilt in 1921. It is confirmed by record in Amritsar District Gazetteer of 1893, which talks about Durgiana Sarovar and `Devi dwara` surrounding it which was thronged by Hindu pilgrims.
