A monument upon the sand, the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi is the first official temple complex built in the entire Middle East providing the Hindu community a variety of communal spaces, tranquil courtyards, exhibition halls, monks accommodation and amphitheatre.

The complex’s architectural design showcases an innovative approach in fusing the temple complex with the concept of an oasis, uniting its language with the surrounding desert environment. Reflecting important and powerful elements in Hinduism, the project emulates the essence of the Ghats and holy rivers in India within its design, creating a spiritual connection to the roots of the Hindu Religion.
