BAPS Hindu Mandir

Another example of interfaith relations in Abu Dhabi is the newly opened Hindu Mandir. 

The mandir is constructed from pink sandstone from northern Rajasthan and marble from Italy. The mandir stands 108 feet tall, 262 feet in length and 180 feet in width. Over 200 volunteers from the UAE, Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and other Gulf countries dedicated more than 690,000 hours towards the construction.
