BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
Posted on 01 November 2009
Today I had met up with a friend of mine who lives in Norcross and we had visited the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn GA. This Indian temple was amazing, there is no word to discribe it, it was just beautiful and the details were extremely fine. Every detail put on this temple was done to perfection, every design was beautiful and makes you wonder how long it had taken anyone to hand carves these designs.
Pity that once you reach a certain point of the temple cameras and camcorders are not allowed. They were very strict once you enter the temple, even gum chewing was not allowed. We went during the time of a prayer so it was very interesting to see the Indian people do their interesting prayers.
Inside, every single way and ceilings and even poles were hand carved and designed to perfection, even the wooden doors and donation boxes were hand carved in fine details.
I think this wonderful temple is a must visit, and best of all, it’s a free temple to visit, well worth your time!!

I saw the photo gallery on their website, very impressive, I’ve never seen anything like that before. It’s ashamed that they don’t let you take picture of the inside.
Nicki, we have to go on their tour there! I want to see more than what we were able to see!!
