The BAPS Hindu Temple

The BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi, also known as the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, is a landmark project marking the UAE's first traditional Hindu stone temple. The foundation stone was laid in April 2019, symbolizing the nation's commitment to tolerance and religious diversity. Located in Abu Mureikha, the temple is being constructed using traditional Indian architectural methods with hand-carved sandstone and marble. The complex will include various facilities such as prayer halls, a visitor center, an exhibition hall, learning areas, and a vegetarian food court, serving both worshippers and visitors. This temple reflects the UAE's dedication to multiculturalism and religious harmony, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of different cultures and religions in the country.
