BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is very beautiful, an immaculate white, with plenty of details. Free to visit, free to photograph, free to enjoy the positive atmosphere of the place, usually packed with friendly and welcoming people.

BAPS is the acronym for Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, which is a socio-spiritual Hindu faith with its roots in the Vedas. This was started by Bhagwan Swaminarayan in the late 18th century.

There is a great article in Wikipedia about the temple, with detailed information describing every part of the site. You can read it here:
