BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir

The BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir is a Hindu temple located on a large property with extensive buildings and outdoor spaces. The sanctuary was constructed from imported materials including marble, pink sandstone, and limestone sourced from different countries.

The temple property was acquired in 2008 and construction began in 2015. The formal consecration by a senior religious leader took place in 2023.

The temple takes its name from Swaminarayan, the spiritual founder, and functions as a center for worship and community gatherings. Visitors of all ages participate in rituals and spend time with family in its spaces.

Visitors must register in advance to enter for free during weekends, national holidays, and Indian festivals. The temple is typically open in the morning through late afternoon, making early daytime visits convenient.

A stepwell on the grounds contains water from hundreds of sources, including Indian rivers and waterways across the US. These waters come from places with spiritual significance for pilgrims.
