The misty Indian temple!

I came to the Indian Temple in Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA over the weekend. The building complex consists of a front area and a pool, a main hall, side halls and a long corridor. It is very spectacular. Follow the signs to the service hall in the side hall. The hall is engraved with intricate wood carvings, which is very impressive. The small projection hall on one side of the hall shows an introduction to the temple and its construction process. The main hall is located in the center of the square, like a castle. , it looks majestic and sacred from a distance; when entering the main hall, you need to take off your shoes and you are not allowed to take pictures. There are thousands of Buddha statues in different postures on the walls and stone pillars of the main hall. The carvings are exquisite and lifelike; there are The restaurant and sales department specialize in selling souvenirs and food. According to friends, the temple has the best scenery at sunset in the evening. Today is a light rainy day, misty and hazy, and the sky is getting darker. Although there is no afterglow of the setting sun, the temple complex is once again a spectacular sight under the reflection of the lights! The full name of this temple is "BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir". It was built in 2009. The main body of the building is made of marble, granite and limestone. The stone comes from all over Europe and is then transported to India, where it is carved by local craftsmen and then shipped to New Jersey. Proceed to assemble. The entire temple took 12 years from design to final completion. This is the largest Hindu temple outside India and the second largest in the world, about two hours drive from New York City. The main body of the temple has been completed and opened, while the peripheral and partial projects are still under construction and improvement. Admission to the temple is free.
