#NewYorkFlightEvent 📍BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham, NJ, USA I heard that the world's second largest temple was completed in New Jersey, so I went there! When I went, it had been two months since it was built! They say 13,000 people were mobilized for 12 years🫢 They carved marble pieces from India and airlifted them to the US to be attached, and each piece was so elaborate and detailed... .. My mouth was wide open!!! It's amazing and wonderful the more I look at it from far away and up close‼️ Oh, there's also a movie theater that explains it, so please take note! Also, you have to take off your shoes in the temple, so make sure to wear socks! They didn't allow you to take pictures inside the temple.. Anyway, the inside was very clean and nice.. It was a shame that I couldn't take pictures😢 There's also a souvenir shop and cafeteria on the way out, and they say the prices and food are good!! The parking lot is also really big, so remember where you park⚠ I highly recommend you visit this Hindu temple😊
