BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Chino Hills

Went to see this beautiful Hindu temple. It’s soo beautifully built. Such amazing architecture done on this. The stone and wood carvings are unreal, the details were immaculate throughout. They don’t allow cameras inside the main temple. But you have to see it to believe it. Wow. And because we are of Buddhist faith, I highly recommend you go see this if you’re in the LA area.

I went here today. It was something on my 'when I retire bucket list' and it did not disappoint. The temple complex is stunning. The Mandir (I think it's the main temple) has rules on entrance including no shoes and arms/shoulders should be covered (I think they provide something for the latter). I literally had to cover my mouth when I entered the Temple because it was so beautiful (there are no pictures allowed on the inside). And interesting enough I felt such inner peace as I walked around. I brought my 14 year old grandson who was also touched by its beauty and how peaceful the experience was. He had an immediate interest in knowing more about the Hindu religion. I'm so glad I went and plan to not only learn more about the religion but go back again.
