BAPS Hindu Mandir at Abu Dhabi

The BAPS Hindu Mandir Abu Dhabi in the UAE, is a traditional Hindu mandir built by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. Inspired by Pramukh Swami Maharaj (1921–2016) and consecrated by Mahant Swami Maharaj on 14 February 2024, this is the first traditional Hindu mandir in Abu Dhabi. In 1997, Pramukh Swami Maharaj envisioned a mandir in Abu Dhabi. In August 2015, the UAE government announced they would provide the land for the mandir. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, gifted 27 acres of land for the mandir. In September 2019 the mandir gained legal status, and in December 2019, the construction commenced. The mandir is constructed from pink sandstone from northern Rajasthan and marble from Italy. The mandir stands 108 feet tall, 262 feet in length and 180 feet in width. Over 200 volunteers from the UAE, Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and other Gulf countries dedicated more than 690,000 hours towards the construction. This is the first Hindu stone mandir to undergo complete digital modeling and seismic simulations during the construction process.[3] The mandir is a symbol of interfaith harmony, representing the UAE's and India’s good relations to foster understanding, acceptance, and unity among people of different religious backgrounds. Accordingly, the mandir carvings not only incorporate stories from the Ramayana, Shiva Purana, Bhagavatam, Mahabharata, and the lives of Hindu figures, but also stories from Arabian, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Native American, and other civilizations. The mandir complex includes the traditional Hindu mandir, a visitor centre, prayer halls, exhibitions, learning areas, a sports area for children, thematic gardens, water features, a food court, and a gift shop. Built according to the shilpa shastras, the ancient Hindu treatises of mandir construction,[16] the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi is the largest Hindu temple in West Asia, and the first traditional Hindu stone mandir in the Middle East.[18] The mandir stands at 108 feet in height, 262 feet in length, and 180 feet in width. Other architectural features include: two ghumats (domes), seven shikars (spires) symbolic of the seven Emirates in UAE, 12 samrans (pyramidal domes) and 402 pillars. It contains white marble carvings in its interior against a pink sandstone exterior backdrop.[33][34][35] The mandir is made of more than 25,000 pieces of stone, weighing from under 1 kilogram to over 6 tonnes, each carved by skilled artisans in India.[16][35] Within each of the shikars, there are carvings of stories from the Ramayana, Shiva Purana, Bhagavatam, Mahabharata, and carvings that portray the lives of Jagannath, Swaminarayan, Venkateshwara, and Ayyappa.[33] The 'Dome of Harmony' showcases the five natural elements - earth, water, fire, air, and space.[36] There are also carvings of animals like horses and camels that represent the UAE, each carved in a unique way.[37] In order to represent the art and architecture of India holistically, the designs team studied mandirs of Jagannath, Konark, Ranakpur, Delwara, and other places of worship throughout India.[16] To meet the policies established by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the mandir was built to be earthquake resistant. This is the first Hindu traditional mandir to undergo complete digital modeling and seismic simulation The mandir incorporates all aspects and features of a traditional Hindu mandir as part of a fully functional, social, cultural, and spiritual complex.[38] The complex includes a visitor centre, prayer halls, exhibitions, learning areas, a sports area for children, thematic gardens, water features, a food court, a gift shop.[39] The mandir has 100 sensors in the foundation and over 350 sensors throughout the mandir to provide data on earthquake activity, temperature variations, and pressure changes.[33] The Wall of Harmony, which welcomes one to the mandir, is a 47-metre-long 3D-printed wall completed by the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community.[16] The mandir design also incorporates environmental-friendly features such as wooden pallets being recycled to make benches, tables, and chairs for the food court. There is a waterfall feature on the mandir campus that symbolizes the source of three rivers holy to Hinduism - the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. The history of the BAPS Hindu mandir began during Pramukh Swami Maharaj's visit to the Middle East in 1997. On the evening of 5 April 1997, Pramukh Swami Maharaj visited a desert in Sharjah where he envisioned a mandir in Abu Dhabi that would bring "countries, cultures, and religions closer together."
