Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Huge area with mind blowing architecture. Perfect time to visit is Evening(Summer)/Winter. Evening Aarti timing is 6.30
All the Murti's are so beautiful.Lord Swaminarayan Murti made of Gold is on the ground floor.
Outside food,Mobile are not allowed inside. You have to deposit mobile in Lockers available there.
One store is there,sells BAPS products.
There is a Canteen which serves good food like Dosa,idly,Pav vaji,Dhokla,Aloo bonda,Puri sabji,tea,coffee & many more in cheap rate.
Its better to go by private vehicles or book a car. Free car parking facility is there. Only few public buses pass through this road.

I was bit disappointed to my first visit there. When I reached the temple it was closed at 2 pm and was scheduled to be opened at 3.30pm. I came with my family in my private car and to wonder you can't enter the temple and park your vehicle till it was closed. I can understand if the temple for the idol is closed at least the premises can be kept open for the visitors to enter and wait inside. The complex was very big but visitors have to wait outside the temple at the side of the most dangerous highway you can ever find with buses driving on a suicide mode. I had to find a less safe place to park my car and waited for 1.5 hrs outside. This is pathetic management rule. Other than that no doubt temple architecture is definitely praiseworthy.
Parking is not free btw.
And a word of caution if you are coming in your own vehicle and you reached after temple is closed then be ready to wait outside at the most dangerous highway you can ever find.

Well, those who have visited any other swaminarayana temple in India or abroad, would know the culture and architectural taste of this trust very well.
Like akshardham temples of ahmedabad, delhi etc. the BAPS swaminarayana temple has a sprawling premise with landscaped gardens and lobbies/walkways all around the temple.
The main temple is made up of red sandstone with intricate floral designs as well as sculptures of indian mythology. The central dome of the temple is really a spectacular piece of art. Marble floors have colorful inlays of lotus and peacock.
Lord Swaminarayana and his disciples are mainly worshipped here. There is a golden statue(not sure) of lord Swaminarayana in the museum cum sanctum (garbha griha) beneath the main temple. Visitors can perform special offerings and puja in that sanctum.
What I liked the most is unlike other temples of this country, this place is neat and clean and quiet. Here I can find peace of mind just by seating at any corner for sometimes. One who loves to visit temples and religious places must visit this new temple of kolkata, and pay his/her humble obeisance to the lord.
If you want to come by bus, take any bus which is goes to diamond harbour or amtala. The temple is right on diamond harbour road near 'vasa', few kilometers from joka.
There is a purely veg gujrati special canteen. Dahivada and dhoklas are lip-smacking.

This temple has opened recently...maybe 3-4 yrs back...
The temple is made and maintained by Swaminarayan trust...and is a copy of Akshardham Temple of New Delhi...
The complex is huge...has a big garden...with fountains...the atmosphere inside the temple is very peaceful...
The main sanctum is two floors high...the temple is made of Marblestone, Sandstone and Redstone...the upper floor has idols of various Gods...while in the lower level there is a Gold idol of Swaminarayan which is kept in a glass chamber...for visiting this part you need to shed 50rs...
You need to take off your shoes to get in the main sanctum and there is a place to keep the shoes which is free of cost...
There is a huge parking 🅿 space inside the complex...there is a big food court named Premvati where food is available at a very nominal fee...
Also there is a store where some gift and cosmetic items are available...

Superb...Fantastic...Outstanding... Mind blowing....temple. It is situated in Bhasa, 10 minutes away from Joka. Big surrounding area, neat and clean and overall you feel mental peace when you entered into the temple area. Outside food are not allowed, but no problem, a big canteen is there in the compound where you can eat from Samosa to Sandwich, Tea to Hot Chocolate with moderate price except Tea. Only Tea is costing Rs.13/- + GST. There is a memento shop opposite to the Canteen. There is a Guest House beside the Canteen and charge is Rs. 500/- per head per day.(including food). The temple looks like Akshardham temple, New Delhi.

Located on the Diamond Harbour Road after crossing IIM Joka, its a new temple. Very grand in looks and campus. Nice for stopping by on your way to Diamond Harbour or Ganga Sagar.

Went there on the start of the new year with lots of expectation after hearing from various people and reading on the web.
As we entered the premises, the view is magnificent / awesome. Very large complex with cleanness and discipline everywhere. NO pics allowed inside the main temple. A very good / excellent work of architect everywhere,
No words to describe everything.
Worth visit and spending time.
Very nice arrangements of car park and also has a nice restaurant.

Visited this great spiritual edifice and rather felt blessed.Right from the entrance to the sanctum sanctorium, the Swaminarayan Temple glows with aura and spiritual vibes.The temple precincts are simply superb with sprawling lawns and excellent architecture.The idols of deities inside are really dazzaling and spell awe and joy among the devotees.The pillars and domes are nicely made up with lots of sculptures.I offered prayers and perfomed abhisek in the temple.The canteen inside the temple campus offers veg food to the devotees and very nicely maintained.

The so called Pujari of the Mandir needs to first know how to worship mankind and the God. Very ill mannered person who does not know how to talk with visitors. He is more of a muscle man than a Pujari
