The largest Hindu temple in the United States was inaugurated on Sunday, October 8 in Robbinsville, New Jersey. The BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham temple spans 126 acres and is considered the biggest Hindu temple outside of India in modern times. Crafted from Italian marble and Bulgarian limestone, the intricately carved temple was hand-built over 4.7 million volunteer hours. PM Modi hailed the "spiritually significant" occasion in a letter. The monumental temple provides an immersive experience, transporting visitors to India. Volunteers call it a masterpiece of architecture, built with dedication over 11 years. As a cultural landmark, it serves the region's Hindu community and offers a mesmerizing glimpse of India's heritage.
