Your Complete Guide to Visiting BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Bharuch

In the historic city of Bharuch, where the Narmada River quietly meanders past ancient ghats, stands a monument of devotion and divine craftsmanship—the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. Often referred to simply as the BAPS Mandir or Swaminarayan Temple, this sacred site embodies spiritual tranquillity, architectural brilliance, and the enduring legacy of faith that draws countless visitors each year.
 

A Spiritual Haven of Faith and Peace

Dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan, the temple serves as a centre of worship, reflection, and cultural connection for devotees of the Swaminarayan faith. Spread across nearly 18 acres of lush, manicured greenery, the temple offers more than a place for prayer—it is a peaceful retreat where serenity and spirituality coexist in harmony. Within its vast complex, the sound of devotional hymns and the gentle rustle of leaves create an atmosphere that soothes the soul and uplifts the spirit.
 

Architectural Grandeur in Pink Sandstone

One of the temple’s most striking features is its architectural magnificence. Crafted from delicate pink sandstone, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir rises gracefully to a height of around 75 feet, extending 151 feet wide and 193 feet long. Its 5-shikhar (spire) design symbolises divine elevation, while the intricately carved pillars, elegant archways, and detailed idols reflect the precision and artistry of traditional Indian temple architecture. Each sculpture narrates stories from sacred scriptures, making the temple not just a place of worship but a living canvas of devotion and design.

  • Mangla/Shangar Arti: 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM

  • Rajbhog Arti: 11:15 AM

  • Sandhya/Shayan Arti: 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM
