Mike and I visited the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir of Chicago, Illinois is a traditional Hindu place of worship built by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, which is headed by Mahant Swami Maharaj, is a denomination of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya within Hinduism. Dresscode: All clothing must cover shoulders and knees. Wraps are provided and I was asked to wear one because I was wearing shorts. We were asked to please leave all personal belongings/backpacks inside our vehicle. BAPS means Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to the worship of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the millennia-old practice of the Hindu faith. Its cycle of daily ceremonies, weekly assemblies and year-round festivals make it a place of vibrant and joyous devotion, learning and celebration for the whole community.
