从外面看，雄伟壮丽，从里面看富丽堂皇。这座印度寺庙太好了，可是让我大开眼界。只为这个，就不需此行。可惜的是，无法在里面拍照，强烈建议朋友们来亚特兰大千万别错过这里。这是一座石头的宫殿，里面的每块石头都精鵰细啄，太漂亮了。

A must see in Atlanta. Only a couple in the world like this. A Masterpiece, must be seen to be believed.

Although I work just a few miles down the street from this beautiful building, we had not taken the opportunity to tour it. It is absolutely stunning, quite unlike our western cultural norms, which I think is precisely part of its appeal. Other reviewers have talked about its unusual, by our standards, construction (pre-formed pieces fitted together) and about its unique beauty in a Lilburn neighborhood. We spent nearly an hour walking around outside taking photos from different angles, then went inside. The interior is as breathtaking as the exterior, but photography inside is prohibited. It is designed as a place of peace, and it is that. There were no tour guides the day we visited, so we wandered around on our own, enjoying viewing something so out of the normal western religious iconography and design. We encountered a few individuals, and there were very polite and courteous. It was a very pleasant way to spend a beautiful Georgia December afternoon.

This temple features an amazing Diwali Fireworks show and brings in several important figures to warm up the crowd including congressmen and Indian ambassadors. The fireworks show has great music and synchronizes the multicolored lights illuminating the mandir with the music and fantastic fireworks. I would definitely come back next Diwali, but make sure to arrive early to get parking either at the temple or the Lions Club Park n Ride and get a good view by the lotus pool.

It is an Indian temple built out of marble and sandstone. The interiors are breathtaking. The volunteers are friendly and eager to assist. We also ate a meal at their cafeteria next door which was clean and inexpensive. The food was great. It is certainly a location to visit to marvel at the architecture.

For the life of me I can't understand why they built this beautiful building right behind a Walgreens and across from a Publix. It would be more appropriate somewhere on beautiful grounds. You have to time when you visit because if the gods are sleeping you don't get to see all of it.

I am lucky in that I drive by BAPS every Sunday on my way to church. I have visited at least three times and have marveled at the story of how it was built (no nails/wood/consumable materials). The members of the temple take excellent care of it and are very welcoming to visitors. You must remove your shoes to enter the inner sanctum, but bare feet on a cold marble floor will become a distant memory once you see the beautiful, intricate carvings that adorn the ceilings, statues and walls. Watch the video that describes how this magnificent temple was built, attend a worship service and learn about the religious customs of this particular group. They have built a wonder right in little old Lilburn, GA

Great place to visit with family. Very well maintained. Very blissful. Would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

This place is simply unbelievable. From the moment you drive up you feel like you are no longer in Georgia. The stunning exterior architecture and sheer size of the building and beautiful grounds can't compare to what awaits inside. A wonderful cultural, religious learning experience and a feast for the senses. The interior is inexplicable. This is a must see. Tip: Read the rules on the website regarding attire.

Loved seeing this beautiful building. Very nice atmosphere. Very interesting. Definitely made me want to learn more about the Hindu religion.

A colleague and I had some time on our hands upon arrival at our hotel in Duluth. I used my handy-dandy Trip Advisor app to see what was nearby. BAPS looked intriguing so off we went.If you can't pony up the funds for a trip to India, this could be your best bet. Nestled in the land of strip malls is this other-worldly gem. Must be seen to be believed and properly appreciated.

When in Atlanta we we visit to the Mandir.Entrance is free of charge, ample parking and wheelchairs are available. A (gift) shop is on site.Each time the BAPS staff has been welcoming, including being invited to attend services. BAPS maintains a website with specific information and guidelines. Helpful to read prior to visit. The place is stunningly looking and radiates beauty, serenity and tranquility. The outside grounds invite to stroll or to just sit by the water displays and to stop and to listen.The limestone structure itself and the interior marble carvings are stunning masterpieces and a feast for the eyes. Attending a service, the smells, the sounds and the colors make a visit to this Mandir a very spiritual and inspirational experience.

This was the first temple I visited in all my visits to USA. I found the temple so well maintained ,efficient devotee management, clean premises and spiritually vibrant.The marble carvings all around are worth a deep look. The well maintained gardens and water bodies are a sight to admire as one leaves the temple. Ample parking and a well managed administration makes a visit to the temple really a wonderful experience. A nice Indian restaurant on its premises serves good Indian snacks and delicacies.
