New Jersey Welcomes BAPS Hindu Temple -- One Of The Only Traditional Stone Mandirs In North America

Antonia Blumberg

Robbinsville, New Jersey may seem like an odd place for a religious pilgrimage, but that is exactly what it may become.

The Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, also known at BAPS, inaugurated what is reported to be one of the largest U.S. Hindu temples in early August, and it is already drawing a crowd to its home in Robbinsville.

I've been to one of them. They're very interesting. They are devotees of Shiva. Open air huge white marble temples.
