The gorgeous architecture of the temple shares a close resemblance with the Akshardham temple in Delhi. A hallmark of the handwork of Indian artisans, the temple is encrusted with pink stones and marble imported from Rajasthan and Macedonia, respectively.<\/p>\n

It all started in 1997, when his devotees took the president of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, to a desert in Sharjah. Besides praying for world peace and eradicating enmity between countries, he also wished for a Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Later in 2015, after BAPS devotees had made several attempts to obtain land permission, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi donated 13.5 acres of land. In 2018, on his visit to Abu Dhabi, Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation of this temple. He inaugurated it in 2019.<\/p>\n

Several MoUs between PM Modi and the Crown Prince laid solid ground for establishing this temple. This temple also includes seven spires that symbolize the seven emirates of the UAE, along with five ornate domes. Its design is also by the ancient Shilpashastras or the Sanskrit scriptures of architecture. Moreover, this temple is a masterpiece in its own right with beautiful gardens, gift stores, a library, and a separate area for kids to play around. There are around 6-7 prayer rooms, a hall for exhibition purposes, and food courts that serve vegetarian food.<\/p>\n
