My buddy and I visited Houston's Mandir Temple yesterday.. Very neat and spiritual place.. There is currently some form of construction/renovation going on but the buildings and carvings were incredible.

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Houston is the first traditional Hindu Mandir of its kind in North America. You may experience hours of discovery and enjoyment at the Mandir. It is a masterpiece of intricate design and workmanship, replete with its 5 towering white pinnacles, 12 smooth domes and glittering 136 marble pillars. Over 33,000 pieces of Italian marble and Turkish limestone were hand-carved by skilled craftsmen and assembled by volunteers in just 16 months. Ancient Indian arts, traditions and philosophy have been encompassed in this house of devotion and worship that is a testimony to human commitment.

That is a gorgeous temple. I never really noticed it before. I'll have to visit it the next time I'm in the Stafford area.

Thanks for posting this!

Was merely joking. Surely he has more credentials than random people on reddit.
