BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (LA)

The L.A. chapter of this Hindu temple is the first earthquake-proof Mandir in the world. It is also powered by solar energy. The temple, built on a 20-acre site, was constructed with the labor of almost 900 volunteers, many of whom are second-generation Indian-Americans. The beautiful Mandir is free to all but check the website for the monthly activities. (Submitted by Alida Bigham)
