Abu Dhabi Mandir LIVE News: Inside BAPS Mandir Abu Dhabi LIVE | PM Modi In UAE | India Today LIVE
Abu Dhabi Mandir LIVE News: PM Modi In UAE LIVE News | BAPS Mandir Abu Dhabi LIVE | INDIA TODAY LIVE The sprawling BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Abu Dhabi, the city's first Hindu temple, is set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14 (Wednesday), during his visit to the UAE. The temple will open to the public on March 1. Constructed on a 27-acre plot, the temple is a stunning architectural marvel that holds a prayer hall having a capacity of 3,000 people, a community centre, an exhibition hall and several other attributes. The temple, whose foundation-stone ceremony took place in April 2019, reflects the unparalleled grandeur of the traditional Nagar style of architecture. Built with 1.80 lakh cubic feet of pink Rajasthan sandstone, 50,000 cubic feet of pristine white Italian marble and 18 lakh bricks, the temple stands tall at 108 feet, being crowned with seven shikhars (spires) each representing one of the seven emirates of the UAE. Surrounding the temple are meticulously crafted ghats and features of the holy rivers Ganga and Yamuna. The temple has two central domes -- ‘Dome of Harmony’ and ‘Dome of Peace’. The entrance of the temple is marked by eight murtis (idols), symbolising the eight values foundational to Sanatana Dharma. The temple space is an ode to human harmony and coexistence with nature, meticulously depicted through the carvings of earth, water, fire, air, and plant life on a dome. The diverse heritage of humanity finds pride in its place within these sacred spaces. Stories from ancient civilisations -- Maya, Aztec, Egyptian, Arabic, European, Chinese and African -- are all captured in stone, a testament to the interconnected essence of global spirituality while honouring India's rich spiritual heritage. #abudhabi #bapstemple #uaevisit #pmmodi #modi #pmmodivisit #modinews #uaevisit #indiatoday #indiatodaylive #indiatodaylivestream Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
