What if we told you that you didn’t have to leave the state of Georgia to find a beautiful, hand-crafted temple that rivals even the Taj Mahal? Don’t scoff – right outside of Atlanta, there’s an incredible palace in Georgia and it’s hiding in plain sight!

One of the most unique buildings in Georgia is the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn. Amazingly, it's only about 20 miles from Atlanta!

This beautiful place of peace is open to the public, and does not limit its doors strictly to a particular religion.

The temple is lovingly crafted from 36,000 pieces of stone, mostly limestone, sandstone, and Italian marble. It's easy to see why people come from all over to marvel at this architectural wonder!
