BAPS - Atlanta

BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Atlanta

The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha is a worldwide religious and civic organization dedicated to the spirituality of the individual while promoting harmony between individuals, within families, and within diverse communities.

A Mandir is a Hindu place of worship – a haven for spirituality and a place of paramount peace. It is also a center vibrant with social, cultural, and spiritual activities. 

The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir was inaugurated in August of 2007 after only 17 months of construction time utilizing 1.3 million volunteer hours. The Mandir is comprised of 3 types of stone (Turkish Limestone, Italian marble, and Indian pink sandstone). More than 34,000 individual pieces were carved by hand in India, shipped to the USA and assembled in Lilburn like a giant 3-D puzzle. The organization’s current spiritual Guru, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, came to Lilburn in 2004 and blessed the first foundation stones.

The interior of the temple is even more intricate, but unfortunately photography is strictly prohibited.

How to Reach :  BAPS temple is located in Lilburn, Georgia, in the intersection of Rockbridge Road and Lawrenceville Highway.
