Sneak peek at US's largest hand-carved Hindu temple; to be inaugurated on October 8
India, in Robbinsville, New Jersey, stands the US's largest Hindu temple, the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham.
This majestic Mahamandir (grand temple) is dedicated to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, a Hindu spiritual leader of the 19th century, and was inspired by his 5th spiritual successor and renowned saint Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
His contributions have been hailed by Hindus and dignitaries of other faiths as truly transforming the lives of millions of individuals. He improved societal standards and, most importantly, the innate nature of people, eradicating them from lust, anger, greed, and envy.
The construction of this Mahamandir began in 2015 and is set to be inaugurated by Mahant Swami Maharaj, and dignitaries on October 8, 2023.
