BAPS Swami Narayan Joburg Temple Introductory Video - Phase 1 Media Launch Johannesburg South Africa
Constructed with thousands of tons of steel and concrete and powered by the dedication of hundreds of volunteers, this
landmark project incorporates sustainable practices, including the planting of over 500 trees and a focus on water
efficiency and solar readiness.
Largest Hindu Temple and Cultural Complex in the Southern Hemisphere Opens in South Africa, fostering hope and unity through multicultural exchange and inter religious dialogue.
Following the grand opening of the Middle East’s first ornately carved Hindu Mandir (temple) in Abu Dhabi-
unveiled by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the active support of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan-the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) turns its focus
to South Africa. The inauguration of the largest Hindu Temple and Cultural Complex in the Southern
Hemisphere, located in Johannesburg, marks a historic milestone for BAPS, a globally renowned socio-
spiritual organization.
To commemorate this monumental occasion, BAPS will host a 12-day Festival of Hope and Unity in February
2025. Spanning 5.9 hectares (14 acres) in Northriding, Johannesburg, the complex is envisioned as a hub for
multicultural exchange, interreligious dialogue, and the community and humanitarian initiatives spearheaded by
BAPS in South Africa.
The BAPS Hindu Mandir and Cultural Complex stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the
South African Indian community, which has overcome the adversities of indentured labour and apartheid. It
reflects their enduring contributions to South Africa and their confidence in its future as a home for
generations to come.
With the congratulatory support of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who unveiled the project during his
last visit to South Africa, the Dedication Ceremony of Phase 1 will take place on Sunday, 2 February 2025
from 6:00 p.m. onwards. The event will feature the presence of South African cabinet-level leaders, His
Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj-the global spiritual leader of BAPS-and leaders from various faiths,
business sectors, and social organisations.
