The Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Toronto and is an impressive Hindu temple located north of the city.
This magnificent temple, built almost entirely of white marble, rose in a year and a half, and opened in mid-2007, thanks to the work of more than 400 volunteers.
What is striking about the book is that it has no scrap metal or metal inner structure of any kind, as well as fastening screws or similar means, everything was assembled like a huge puzzle pieces they were about 24,000, developed as works of the first Mandir in India, more than 2,000 years.
All prints and sculptures were made in India by 1,800 skilled craftsmen and then transferred by ship to Canada.
The 40 million dollars it took the work were funded entirely by donations from Hindus around the globe and carried out by BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha organization that works to promote Hinduism, and to perform social work in and outside La India.Todo an example of religious plurality.
