BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (Hindu Temple)

On Friday, the First trip for our HOGS Class, we went and visited a very quite interesting, and detailed Hindu Temple. It was very detailed in the aspect of architecture and how everything was perfect. The carvings around and inside the temple where very precise and perfect, that it makes you go "wow". Our tour Guide was very patient with us, and answered all the questions we had, and explained what the religion Hinduism practically is. He explained some aspects such as their rituals, their diets, and how they dress. It was really interesting information and facts to listen to. We also had the experience to be in one of their worshiping sessions. Inside there, we learned that men are above women, at least in this religion they put it like that. For that reason they always put men in the front and women behind them. I really enjoyed going here and learning new things about the religion.
This is from the Front of the Temple.




I believe this is The Main entrance in front of the Temple
