I recently visited the Shri Swaminarayan temple just outside Toronto. It opened in 2007 and it is the largest Hindu temple in Canada. This entrance actually takes you into the community center portion of the temple, you can't enter into the Mandir directly. I love all that beautifully carved woodwork. It's quite warm and inviting. On Friday, I'll give you a look at the Mandir itself. It's fantastic!

Interesting, I am quite curious to see the inside...
Wow - what craftsmanship!
Marvelous wood carvings that entice the visitors.
Great capture, Halcyon! It's marvellous that the local communities have retained their identity, tradition and customs.
Amazing details, can't wait to see more!
That's beautiful.
Sadly we don't have any Indian building such as this here.
I suddenly thought you had gone on holiday....
A very nice building.

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
