Summary

Description Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Stafford (Houston area), Texas; BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Houston is the first traditional Hindu Mandir of its kind in North America. It's a haven for spirituality and a place of paramount peace. It is also a center vibrant with social, cultural, and spiritual activities. The Mandir was inaugurated in July of 2004 after only 16 months of construction time utilizing 1.3 million volunteer hours. The Mandir is comprised of 2 types of stone (exterior Turkish Limestone and interior Italian marble). More than 33,000 individual pieces were carved by hand in India, shipped to the USA and assembled in Stafford, TX like a giant 3-D puzzle. People come to experience living Hinduism and the peace and tranquility that the sacred Mandir and Murtis provide.
