I never knew the breathtaking experience was in Robbinsville until recently. An amazing visit to appreciate the carved marble statues alone. Please realize this is a sacred site and always respect that. Modest clothing and be prepared to remove your shoes. A highlight is the peacocks on site. The members of the community are available to answer any questions and were so pleasant. I felt I was on a trip to India not available in these covid times.

Baps Shri Swaminarayan Mandir was absolutely gorgeous and the community of people who ran the temple were very accommodating. My daughter and I went to the temple to experience it and even though it is not 100% done the inner chamber is something to behold. The marble imported from Italy was meticulously carved beautifully and put together piece by piece. The temple itself was as ornate as the Vatican and the vibe was totally positive.
One tip is you go, wear pants out of respect, if you come in shorts you will be asked to put on a surong wrap.
The temple is about 1/4 the way done with an addition for a reflection pool and more buildings, There are peacocks roaming the grounds with their babies.

This place is amazing. Don't second think going, JUST GO. I got to pour water on a sacred statue named "Nilkanth Varni". I loved this place. I was originally Christian but I converted over to a Swaminarayan. I LOVE THIS PLACE. If your looking to switch religions; TRY BEING SWAMINARAYAN!!!!

The temple is made from coloured marble with incredible intricate design inside and outside. To enjoy hours of beauty, peace and discovery of unique and exquisite Indian design and carvings. It is mind blowing experience.

An absolute gem of a place. So unique, beautiful and peaceful. I've been to very few places that has made me feel so at peace. The volunteers are so friendly and willing to give extra information. I would suggest taking the tour if you are visiting for the first time, there is so much history and things to learn. Just check their website on the best time to visit since they have special idol worships certain times during the day.
I would highly recommend visiting this temple whenever you are in the area. There is a small gift and food shop as well that is great.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience, I'll be sure to come back again and again!

Best temple of the world shows real hindu religion. what a great thoughts. lots of respect for women and men. Truelly believing in this concept. Touching women and giving ashirward is not real women value. But women and men respect and maryada is followed by baps. pour satsang is showing by baps swaminarayan bhagwan and its sadhus. Lots of activities social, spiritual and world wellcoming and best sampraday. when i read their books and more and more i know for them i feel so blessed i understand this baps swaminarayan. please people i encourage that please visit baps akshardham new delhi and london baps swaminarayan temple and canada , houston, atlanta ,LA temple visit sunday sabha too. You will realise what you miss till up to in your life.

Is there a store inside the mandir campus where i can buy small temples for home? Are they pricey?

Good Afternoon Sushant, I did notice a store in the temple but it looked closed and I did not want to step out of line only because there seemed to be a service going on and my daughter and I were being reverent in not asking to many questions. The really good thing is that they have a self guided tour screen that helped you understand the many points in the temple that were of interest.

Hi, wanted to know how badly this temple underpaid it's workers and for how many years? Also, is it typical in other BAPS places?

I noticed on their website that visits were available between 7-7:30pm on weekdays. I wanted to tour with a group of friends. Is 30 minutes sufficient, or should I aim for an earlier time?

I agree that an hour or more is needed. We walked around the outside for the photo opportunities. It is absolutely beautiful.

We have been to the Temple during the week and it was a very pleasant experience. However, how busy does it get on Saturdays?

Not sure how busy it would be on weekends, but they have many well informed guides there. It's a large space to walk around, with much to see.

Is there a large part of temple still under construction? I want to visit the temple but it's a 6 hour drive for me. If a large part of temple is still under construction then I would rather wait and visit next year. TIA

To me the temple is completely finished, with some painting going on for the walls and ceiling of the outer building that houses the temple - but that's mostly finished. There is much more building going up on the property. If I understand correctly there are classrooms and a museum sort of building being constructed. I don't know the timeline on these things. You'd do best to call the main phone number and speak with someone there for more accurate and complete details.

I was there during the day, however I saw the lights in the ground around the building and assumed they would be turned on at dark. But I am not sure
