| In 2001, fundraising efforts allowed the Atlanta BAPS community
to purchase land in suburban Lilburn, Georgia on which they intend
to build an elaborate temple that will serve as the region’s primary
temple, cultural center and pilgrimage site. The Atlanta
Constitution reports: "The climax of the multi-phase project will be
a 40,000 square - foot marble temple assembled by Indian craftsmen.
It will be patterned after the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir on the
outskirts of London... The Hindu congregation expects to spend up to
$20 million on the complex and has already started work on a
$300,000 community center" (Nurse 2001). Swaminarayans in Atlanta
expect to fundraise for the next several years in order achieve this
dream and to accommodate the needs incumbent to their role as the
leading temple of the southeastern United States. |
