BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
Attraction · Neasden, England
The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir stands at 105-119 Brentfield Road, NW10 8LD. The operator states that the Mandir and Haveli are usually open to the public from 9.00am to 6.00pm throughout the year, including Bank Holidays, and gives the same timings for the Understanding Hinduism exhibition; entry to the mandir is free. Neasden on the Jubilee line is 1,048 m away and Stonebridge Park 1,142 m, so every approach is a walk of over a kilometre.
History
Pramukh Swami Maharaj inaugurated the mandir in 1995, and it belongs to the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. It was built entirely by traditional methods and in traditional materials, in stone rather than in a converted secular building. The complex holds a permanent exhibition, Understanding Hinduism, and a cultural centre with an assembly hall, gymnasium, bookshop and offices. The site carries no entry on the National Heritage List for England.
