- Visitor Information
On Saturday 17th October the largest Hindu temple outside India, Neasden Temple - or the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir to give it its full name - forms a spectacular backdrop for a huge fireworks display. The Mandir's towering marble pinnacles will be lit up by a clutch of colourful fireworks in celebration of Diwali, the 'Festival of Lights'. A significant date religiously for Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, the temple - usually a centre for quiet worship, with signs indicating that silence is requested - becomes a riot of squeals, bangs and colour. Close your eyes and you could believe you are in India. The following day's New Year celebrations include a mammoth thanksgiving feast full of a thousand "dishes of devotion" in the temple's Grand Prayer Hall. Prayers and rituals will also be taking place from noon until 9pm. Highly recommended.About Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (Hindu Temple)
Located in an unexpected and fairly barren area on the edge of north-west London this stunning Hindu temple is an amazing spiritual and architectural gem, well worth the trip out to the suburbs - in fact, the bleak location makes the beauty and symbolism of the temple all the most spectacular.
