Hello!

I am very pleased to announce you that I have over 1502 photos on line. I will be in London for this summer and this photo helped me to get over 1502 uploads! It is an immage with the indian temple

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir London located in Neasden.

Built entirely using traditional methods and materials, Neasden’s Swaminarayan Mandir is Britain’s first authentic Hindu temple. It was also Europe’s first traditional Hindu stone temple, as distinct from converted secular buildings.

The Mandir was cited in Guinness World Records 2000,as follows:

"Biggest Hindu Temple outside

India: The Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Neasden, London, UK, is the largest Hindu temple outside India. It was built by His Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, a 79-year-old Indian sadhu (holy man), and is made of 2,828 tonnes of Bulgarian limestone and 2,000 tonnes of Italian marble, which was first shipped to India to be carved by a team of 1,526 sculptors. The temple cost "12 million to build."
