Temple of Vedic Planetarium, Hindu temple in Mayapur, India
The Temple of Vedic Planetarium is a Hindu temple in Mayapur that combines Vietnamese marble with local Indian materials in its construction rising 113 meters high. The structure contains 62 furnished rooms on the altar floor that serve religious ceremonies and provide accommodation throughout the year.
The altar floor was inaugurated on February 13, 2020 with representatives from 80 countries attending the opening ceremony. This marked a significant milestone for the Hindu religious complex.
The temple displays Vedic cosmology through multimedia exhibits that bring ancient Hindu scripture descriptions to life for visitors. You can walk through galleries that explain how classical texts imagined the cosmos and celestial mechanics.
The building is very large with many areas to explore, so you need time to move through it without rushing. Plan to spend several hours walking through the different rooms and galleries throughout the complex.
When fully completed, this will be the second tallest religious structure in the world and the largest Hindu temple ever built. Its design uniquely combines Eastern and Western architectural elements in ways you rarely see together.
