New Jersey is now home to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring spiritual landmarks
The BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in Robbinsville, opened in 2023, is now the second-largest Hindu temple outside India. Spanning 183 acres, it features over 10,000 hand-carved statues and pillars—each crafted from Italian marble and Bulgarian limestone, then assembled piece by piece like an enormous 3D puzzle.
Built over 15 years with more than 4.7 million volunteer hours, this $100 million project was entirely funded by donations. It stands as a breathtaking testament to devotion, artistry, and community.
