The Swaminarayan Temple in Houston is the first traditional Hindu temple of its kind in North America. It is a masterpiece of intricate design and workmanship, replete with its 5 towering white pinnacles, 12 smooth domes and glittering 136 marble pillars. Over 33,000 pieces of Italian marble and Turkish limestone were hand-carved by skilled craftsmen and assembled by volunteers in just 16 months. Ancient Indian arts, traditions and philosophy have been encompassed in this house of devotion and worship that is a testimony to human commitment.

Wow, that’s one of the most ornate temples I’ve ever seen in the United States!
Laura, there are even more intricate ones in New Jersey and Los Angeles
Wow, really! I guess I haven’t seen them.
I like your presentation — showing the intricate details up close. Beautiful place.
Thanks Donna.
Wow very impressive
Yes, it is Vijay. Even better ones in Atlanta, Chicago, and Toronto.
