At this point, it’s worth noting that BAPS Hindu Mandir is a majestic temple that’s also the first of its kind in Abu Dhabi. Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14, this was done in the presence of the Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence for the UAE, Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan. It’s important to note that this is the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East, which stands as a testament to the enduring friendship between India and the UAE. As such, the temple is situated on a 27-acre site in Abu Mureikhah which is near Al Rahba.
