Hindu temple
30 Carnforth Road, Toronto, Canada
Description:
The Hindu temple in the Canadian capital Toronto is a large temple complex dedicated to Bhagavan Swaminarayan, located on the outskirts of the capital, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The Toronto Shrine is built strictly in accordance with Hindu scriptures.
Unique is the building of the temple, delighting with its skillful subtle work. No metal objects were used in the construction. The material for the manufacture was marble, sandstone and granite. The building consists of two and a half thousand parts that were carved in India and delivered to Canada. The temple was assembled from these parts as a designer in a year and a half.
On the ground floor there is a museum that tells about the history of Hindus in Canada.
