As you arrive at this temple, you realize what you have seen from Turnpike is only a tip of the iceberg. This temple is just humongous in size with beautiful lightings and has a massive parking area.

This is one of the Swaminarayan temples that has men and women divided between two sides while worshipping. They have a marketplace with a lot of gifts, snacks and readymade food items and a canteen which was not open while we were there.

This temple is only about 5 minutes from our home, so we used to go there pretty regularly. I have…read morealways loved the peaceful feeling here, especially during Radha-Krishna darshan and aarti. Being a Vaishnav and growing up with these traditions, aarti time is something very close to my heart. You can just stand there for a few minutes, forget about everything else and feel that peace. Since we live so close, we really wanted our daughter to grow up going to this temple and learning about our culture too. We enrolled her in Sunday school when she was 3, but unfortunately the timing was 6:30-7:30 PM on Sunday. For a 3-year-old, that's pretty much dinner and bedtime, especially when they have school the next morning. We asked a few times if they could consider an earlier time, but unfortunately nothing changed, and eventually we had to take her out. I really wish they would reconsider the timing and listen to parents who have younger kids. I honestly think more children would be able to attend if it was earlier. We want our kids to learn about our religion and culture, but the timing also has to be practical for them. The other thing that slowly made us stop going regularly was that we never really got that warm, welcoming feeling from some of the devotees. Sometimes we just felt like outsiders. There wasn't one particular incident, it was more the overall feeling we got over time. When you have a temple 5 minutes from your house, you hope it becomes a place where your family feels at home and part of the community. It's actually disappointing because we genuinely wanted to be more involved and wanted our daughter to grow up being part of this temple. Between the Sunday school timing and not really feeling that connection with the community, we eventually stopped going as often. But I still have a special place in my heart for the temple itself. Radha-Krishna darshan and aarti here are beautiful, and the peace I feel when I come for darshan is something I truly appreciate. I really hope things become a little more welcoming and the Sunday school timing is reconsidered someday, because we would genuinely love to start coming regularly again. Radhe Radhe.

The temple is huge, well maintained and all the Covid precautions are in place. There's ample of parking space outside. Once you enter the temple from the side door, there will be a temperature check and after that, you go upstairs where you'd see all the idols. The one clever thing that the people working here have done is that they have installed one entry and exit point so that there's only one way from start to finish to see all the idols, get blessings, pray and worship once inside. They have arranged this fence type barrier and you follow along throughout, seeing all the magnificent idols at display. Apart from the beautiful idols, they also do various pooja/ archana for a reasonable price. You can get the details before entering the main floor. There's also a canteen located at walking distance from the temple with plenty of food items on the menu. The canteen is run by volunteers (as far as I could tell) and the menu is your typical South Indian styled food items like Dosa, vada, idli and a few more along with beverages like tea and coffee. We had a few different varieties of dosas, Idli & Vada combo, coffee and kesari. The food on offering was just ok with mild toned down flavors. The temple has a calming vibe, it's peaceful and a place for devotees to gather and be one with the divine. A must visit temple if you're around.

You'll be glad you did. It took 12 years, over $100 million, and 12,500 volunteers to build this architectural wonder, and it's incredible having the second largest BAPS temple in the world right here in New Jersey, second only to the one in New Delhi, India! From the moment we arrived at the main entrance, I felt transported to a different world. Everyone in our group was in awe, and I couldn't stop taking photos. Every detail deserves admiration, from the massive statue of Nilkanth Varni at the entrance plaza and the tranquil courtyard water features, to the main Akshardham Mandir itself with its countless intricate indoor and outdoor carvings. A few helpful tips for your visit: - Welcome Center: Be sure to catch the informative intro video. There are two theaters with staggered showtimes, so just hop into whichever one has the shorter wait. - Dress Code: They enforce a strict modest dress code (e.g. shoulders and knees must be covered). Don't worry if you forget - they offer free wraps at the door so you aren't turned away. I wore shorts, and they provided a sarong to wear over them. - Footwear: You will need to take off and check your shoes before entering the Mandir. - Amenities: Near the exit, there is a cafeteria, a dessert shop, and a museum (we didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but it's great to have options). With ongoing expansions still underway, this magnificent landmark will only get better. Absolutely 5 stars for me!
