Abu Dhabi: The UAE’s first Hindu temple built by the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), has provided comprehensive guidelines for visitors, outlining preferred attire, prohibited items, regulations regarding photography, and other important information.
“Cover the area of the body between the neck, the elbow, and the ankles. Caps, t-shirts, and other clothing articles with offensive designs are not allowed. Do not wear translucent or tight-fitting clothing. Avoid clothing articles and accessories that make distracting noises or reflections,” the guidelines said.
These guidelines are necessary to be followed “to preserve the tranquil ambience and ensure the orderly management of our premises,” the temple authorities said.
Pets are prohibited from entering the temple premises, and outside food and beverages are not allowed within the temple structure. Additionally, the use of drones is strictly forbidden within the temple grounds.
The temple inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 14, occupies a vast 27-acre area in Abu Mureikhah, near Al Rahba along the Dubai-Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed Highway. The construction cost of the temple is estimated to be around Rs 700 crore.
In a post on X, BAPS Hindu Mandir said, “The wait is over! Abu Dhabi Mandir is now open for all visitors and worshipers. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 9am-8pm. Every Monday: Closed for visitors.”
Although there is no entry fee, devotees have to register on the official website or through the Festival of Harmony app before their visit, reports said.
