BAPS Hindu Mandir is the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East. The temple was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14 in Abu Dhabi. The temple is managed by BAPS. Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan (BAPS) Sanstha is a volunteer-driven global Hindu organisation promoting spirituality, cultural values, and social service. About 10,000 people can be at the BAPS Hindu Mandir. The temple is open to visitors from 9 am to 8 pm. There is no entry fee for visiting the temple. Visitors must register on the official website or through the Festival of Harmony app to visit the temple. The temple is in Abu Mureikha’s Al Taf Road (E16), off the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway.
