Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Auckland, Hindu temple in Papatoetoe, Auckland, New Zealand

The Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is a Hindu temple in Papatoetoe, south of Auckland, housing multiple shrines within its prayer halls. The building combines traditional architectural elements with contemporary construction techniques.

The temple's murti pran pratistha, the deity installation ceremony, was performed by Acharya Shree Koshalendraprasadji Maharaj on 24 March 2008. It is the second Swaminarayan temple in New Zealand and belongs to the NarNarayan Dev Gadi. The local Papatoetoe community spent over five years planning the project, with design and carving work extending to Hong Kong, India and Europe. Dr Kantilal Patel and his wife Ranjna Patel, involved in the build, received the Queen's Service Medal.

The temple serves as a gathering place where people come to worship and celebrate together regularly. Inside, traditional craftsmanship is visible in the carved walls and ornate ceiling designs throughout.

The mandir stands in Papatoetoe, south Auckland, and is reached by road from the city and by local bus services. Visitors remove their shoes before entering the shrine halls, and modest dress covering shoulders and knees is expected. Photography inside the shrines may be restricted, so ask before taking pictures.

The temple was built by craftspeople from Hong Kong, India, and Europe, bringing together international techniques. This global collaboration made the construction an extraordinary endeavor.
