Celebs attend BAPS Temple in Abu Dhabi: Actor Akshay Kumar, Vivek Oberoi, actor Dilip Joshi and singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan attended the inauguration at Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. 

In the visuals going viral, Akshay Kumar can be seen donning an ethnic kurta.


Expressing happiness about the opening of the Hindu Temple, Dilip Joshi said, "Even after seeing this, it is difficult to believe that such a beautiful BAPS temple has been constructed. I was present here when the foundation stone of this temple was laid by PM Modi. The Ruler of Dubai has a big heart, he gave the land and permission to construct this temple. I pray that the message of harmony is spread across the world from this temple."

Mahadevan also expressed his happiness.

"This is an extremely happy moment for India and Indians all over the world. This is a historic moment in our lives where we are going to witness a Mandir which is so magnificent and spiritual coming on a land like Abu Dhabi. Only our PM Narendra Modi can execute this..." Mahadevan said.

Meanwhile, "This is an extremely beautiful and incredible temple and I have been here before. I had this good fortune to do seva when it was being constructed," Vivek Oberoi said. 

As the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi, the BAPS Mandir has become a focal point of cultural and spiritual significance, drawing devotees from various corners.

Earlier today, the consecration ceremony of the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi was held ahead of its inauguration by PM Modi. The priests conducted rituals before the inauguration.

Notably, the Mandir, the first traditional Hindu temple in the United Arab Emirates, sits on 27 acres of land that was generously gifted by the UAE leadership.

Standing tall at 108 feet, the BAPS Hindu Mandir is not only a symbol of spiritual devotion but also a marvel of engineering and craftsmanship.
