Kanjrur is a small town located 6 km from the Kartarpur. Before partition, it was pre-dominant with the Hindu population. Also, there were several Hindu temples present in Kanjrur.
After the partition none of the Hindu family stayed there, sadly most of the temples were dismantled in the reaction of the Babri Masjid incident.
In this picture, one can see a small abandoned temple around which Local children are playing. The structure consists of a single-story square “Sanctum” which was designed for placing the housing deity. In the sanctum room corner squinches portion filled with extended flower bouquet element made of lime. Around all four sides of the sanctum assembly hall for devotees present in Hindu terminology it is called “Ayatana”
From the square sanctum structure main temple curvilinear spire (tower, sikhara) is raised, which is a common type of northern Indian Shrines (Latinas).
