Hindu Temple Toronto 020

Known as the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir.
This is the whole complex, with the actual temple on the right. The temple is made almost entirely from marble in India and shipped to Canada and assembled there.
Just one 6-foot section of pillar - every square centimeter intricately carved - takes an artisan a full year to complete.
There are dozens - if not hundreds - of such pillars inside. This has to be seen to be believed!
To my dismay, photography inside the building is strictly forbidden!
