Rooted in the teachings of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, we offer daily prayers, celebrate festivals, and organize activities that inspire spiritual and moral growth. Join us in celebrating faith, community, and service.

Mandir

The main area of the a mandir is the worship space. People come to offer prayers, have darshan, and participate in rituals like arti. The space is kept quiet and respectful to support concentration.

Learning

Mandirs are also learning spaces. Many offer talks, classes, and tours that explain beliefs, rituals, and values. Learning helps visitors understand what they are seeing and helps community members apply teachings in daily life.

Abhishek Mandapam

The Abhishek Mandap offers devotees a unique opportunity to participate in the sacred ritual of honoring and serving the Deity by bathing him prayerfully. Visitors often join in this ritual to pray for themselves, their loved ones and the world.
