The BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi, inaugurated by PM Modi, is a stunning architectural marvel. Built with 18 lakh bricks and 7 lakh man-hours, costing ₹700 crore, it stands as a symbol of interfaith harmony. The temple's grandeur includes waters from the Ganga and Yamuna, an amphitheatre resembling Varanasi's ghats, and a beam of light representing the Saraswati river. Designed by a diverse team, it features seven spires symbolizing the UAE's emirates and detailed carvings of horses and camels. Made of pink Rajasthan sandstone and white Italian marble, it accommodates 10,000 people and boasts the 'Dome of Harmony,' showcasing the five natural elements. The complex includes various facilities like a visitor center, prayer halls, exhibitions, and thematic gardens, reflecting Indian culture and the growing friendship between India and the UAE.
