    Honestly hate to write this review because I hate conflict but I believe something should be said so here I go. I went to this temple for the first time today. Really beautiful architecture overall. Went to the main darshan hall and sat for a few minutes as its customary. I was asked by an uncle to step out for a few minutes as I saw a monk come in. I didn’t understand why but simply complied. Later the same person met me outside and apologetically informed me that swamiji does not go in the presence of women otherwise he has to fast, that is why I had to step out. As a practicing hindu I have to say this is very bizzare. This temple is not like Sabrimala where only men are allowed. Half of the population of this world is female. You are praying to the idol of Radha Krishna, Radha is female. Banishing females from your presence is definitely not the path to achieve self control and also it is unfair to women as they are being denied permission to be in the same space as you. I complied with their request but I need to point out that this is not a fair ask and there should be some reflection on its effects.

    This place is absolutely beautiful, but just remember, no shoes in the wedding hall or the prayer room even though you might feel tempted to walk in and take pics.

    This is a quiet Hindu temple of the Swaminarayan Sect. It is kept spic and span. The worship place has Lord Shiva, Parvati & Gajanan; Radha, Krishna; Sriram, Sitadevi & Bajrangi. Besides there are idols of Ghanshyam Maharaj, Purushottam Swaminarayan Bhagwan. Sweet & Savouries, Ayurvedic medicines, cooking products etc produced by BAPS Shayona Sanstha are sold here. The volunteers managing the temple received us with courtesy. We purchased penda, khajur pak, cashew cookies, neem based toothpaste. The two sweets & the cookies are very good.

    Love to go Swaminarayan Temple once a week. This temple is very clean and organized. lots of activities going on for Adults and children. Cafeteria is open for anyone to go and have prasadam. They do have a shop where you can buy books of swami Narayan ji. Get the hygenic snacks as well. Jai swami Naryan🙏

👍👍 I remember when this was a farm owned by very nice people. Now its a quiet park with lovely sunsets. Plenty a room to just sit and have a coffee at dusk. It's not that far away from a Starbucks for that matter. I keep forgetting to take pics when I go to these places I hope this one is enough.
