Understanding Hinduism at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, 105-119 Brentfield Road, Neasden, London, NW10 8LD, England
BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir is the first traditional Hindu Mandir in Europe. 2,820 tones of Bulgarian limestone and 2,000 tonnes of Italian Carrara marble were shipped to India, carved by over 1,500 craftsmen and reshipped to London. In all 26,300 carved pieces were assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle in less than 3 years. It is a miracle of modern times worked by over a thousand volunteers. The complex also includes a large exhibition - Understanding Hinduism - which describes the history of the religion, and the discoveries of early Hindus.
