BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple

The Mandir’s journey consists of many continents from the origination of each stone to the craftmanship of ancient traditions to volunteerism. The true spirit of seva, or selfless volunteering, continues to live on in this mandir just as it does in every BAPS project. Some two million man hours of labor have gone into building this special house of worship, with high school and college students foregoing their summer vacations to sweat in the Texas summer heat to make this project a success. Along with the young, many professionals and business people, including both men and women, had temporarily put their lives on hold to ensure that the traditional mandir would be completed by the end of July.
