The BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi marked its second anniversary on February 14, celebrating two years of spiritual service and cultural harmony.
Over 8,000 devotees and diplomats gathered for a special "Mandir Talks at 2" assembly, held at the temple site inaugurated by Mahant Swami Maharaj in 2024. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, attended as the guest of honour, hailing the temple as a powerful symbol of the enduring friendship between India and the United Arab Emirates.
Swami Brahmviharidas noted that the landmark has welcomed four million visitors from over one hundred countries since its opening. The evening featured interactive sessions exploring the Mandir’s role in strengthening family values and community bonds. Ambassadors from India, Chile, and Egypt reflected on how the hand-carved stone structure serves as a bridge for universal fraternity. The celebration concluded with children leading pledges for environmental responsibility and national harmony, ensuring the temple's mission inspires future generations.
