Welcome to Europe’s first traditional Hindu Temple!
Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - popularly known as the Neasden Temple - is dedicated to the world of Bhagwan Swaminarayanand the Millenia, old traditions of the Hindu faith. It is a masterpiece of traditional Hindu design and exquisite Indian workmanship in the heart of London. Using 5000 tonnes of Bulgarian limestone and Italian and Indian marble, it was hand-carved in India before being assembled in London in just over 2 years.
