BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Toronto is a Hindu temple in Toronto, Ontario, opened on July 22, 2007 by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual leader of BAPS. Also in attendance at the ceremony were Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Federal Opposition Leader Stéphane Dion, and Indian Ambassador to Canada Rajamani Lakshmi Narayan. The temple was constructed by 2,000 builders who were required to follow ancient Hindu rules. The temple was built using Turkish limestone and Italian marble. It is the second largest Hindu temple outside India, behind only the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Atlanta.

The temple cost an estimated $40 million to build. However, like many other temples in BAPS, significant work was provided through volunteering efforts of the local community. At 32,000 sq.ft, it is the largest mandir in Canada.
