Neasden Temple

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, north-west London – popularly known as ‘Neasden Temple’ – is dedicated to the worship of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the millennia-old traditions of the Hindu faith. It is a masterpiece of traditional Hindu design and exquisite Indian workmanship in the heart of London. Using 5,000 tonnes of Bulgarian limestone and Italian and Indian marble, it was hand-carved in India before being assembled in London in just 2½ years.

Since its opening in 1995, this internationally acclaimed place of worship, learning and celebration has attracted over 10 million visitors of all faiths and backgrounds from more than 120 countries, serving also as an integral part of the religious landscape of Britain and the local community.

Neasden Temple is the fruition of the vision, devotion and hard work of His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj (1921-2016), and continues to be guided and inspired by His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj.
