This is a temple…read morefor the modern devotee and it really allows for you to experience the core representatives of all of Hinduism, Puranas and Vedas in one sitting. This temple celebrates Sankranthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Siva Ratri, you name it. In other scenarios, it also pays attention to holy days such as Pradosham, Guru Poornima, etc. Most of it all, any major celebrations always mean that there is Maha Prasadam. Who doesn't want a cultural plate of tasty goodness?! Whether it is for a hearty prayer, or a touristy, culture-curious drop-in, I would highly suggest a visit here. It will leave you with a newfound sense of interest and further curiosity.

There's not too many Hindu temples in the state. I see Islamic mosques in the U.S. more than I can find a good East Asia Indian Hindu temple. Not huge, but there's plenty of great photo spots all around the temple. Employees are all friendly, welcoming, and set a great first hand impression of the experiences. Exterior and interior of buildings are worth walking around. When you enter the main gate for free parking, assistant gives you a small map of the site in advance. Note, Visitors can take photos inside the visitor center area, but no cameras, photography, or shoes are allowed in the main temple attraction site. No large backpacks, but I was able to bring my small hat/cap with me. I didn't wear it inside the temple though. Take off shoes and store them in the shelves available right before walking up the long stairs. Cover up/check dress code restrictions in advance. Good vibes all around. Inside the main temple were people praying/meditating. Very cold temperatures and echoing noise can easily be heard inside. White detailed sculptures are amazing. Indian culture is religious. Respect Hindu vibes. It's a great feeling walking around and you can check out other parts of the temple/museum. Great place for selfies and beautiful pictures for sure. Love it.

Lost Shoes, Found Enlightenment…read more Visited the beautiful BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and was truly impressed. The Hindu temple is absolutely stunning, the architecture is extraordinary, with intricate carvings made from Italian Carrara marble and Indian pink sandstone. It's on a apx 20 acres site. It took about five years to build, and knowing that so many volunteers helped create it with love and devotion makes it even more meaningful. Since the temple is located in an earthquake zone, I learned it also incorporates modern seismic protection technology beneath the structure, which is fascinating. The museum is definitely worth visiting as well. One unexpectedly spiritual experience happened at the shoe area. Someone apparently "borrowed" my shoes by mistake. For a brief moment, I thought perhaps I was being tested on detachment from worldly possessions. But then ... miracle of miracles ... the shoes mysteriously returned. My theory is either karma worked at lightning speed... or the person discovered that my shoes were not nearly as comfortable or fashionable as expected. Either way, I gratefully walked home with enlightenment... and my shoes.

She did not waste any time and she was completely thorough and quick. We would highly recommend her for any Hindu rituals and ceremonies.

It's a SMALLER Hindu Temple with beautiful architecture, do don't expect it to a big temple that you will spend a few any hours there 1 hour is definitely enough for you to walk around and check them out. You have to take off your shoes upon entering the outdoor Temple. The last time I went, there was no fee to enter and no parking fee to the temple. (I read recent visitors got charged and a $10 parking fee so call them first to find out). The temple could also be close for a special events, so do plan ahead accordingly. Take the 10 West all the way down. It's about 25 miles out from the beginning of PCH on the 10 W.
