Mandir: An Introduction
Welcome to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir — a Hindu place of worship open to one and all. 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
Heart of Mandir
Murtis
The term murti is derived from the Sanskrit word 'murta', meaning embodiment. A murti is therefore more than a physical representation of God or a meditational aid. It is an embodiment of the Deity. An enlightened guru enacts special Vedic rituals whereby each part of the image is ceremoniously infused with the presence of the Deity. If the sanctum is the heart of the Mandir, the murtis are its very soul.
Prayer Space
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.
