Devotees, one of the largest Hindu temple in North America has opened in Robinsville, New Jersey, covering 160 acres, and also the ONLY temple in North America carved out of pure rock. The Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, also known at BAPS, inaugurated what is reported to be one of the largest U.S. Hindu temples in early August, and it is already drawing a crowd to its home in Robbinsville. The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir covers 160 acres, and the primary mandir, or temple, on the premises measures 133 ft long and 87 ft wide. The Guinness world record holder for largest Hindu temple is the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Delhi, which measures 356 ft long and 316 ft wide. Robinsville has a sizeable Gujarati and Indian population to serve the temple, but it has now become a pilgrimage for all North American Hindus.
