A Celebration of Unity: BAPS Hindu Temple Opens its Doors in Abu Dhabi

On February 14th, 2024, the BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi will echo with the sounds of celebration as it officially opens its doors, marking a historic moment for cultural exchange and religious harmony. Prime Minister Modi, alongside Sheikh Mohamed, Mahant Swami Maharaj, and other dignitaries, will lead the grand inauguration ceremony, steeped in tradition and vibrant performances.

Expect an immersive experience filled with Vedic rituals, prayers, chants, and music, followed by cultural showcases that weave together the rich tapestry of India and the UAE. This momentous occasion is just the beginning, setting the stage for a series of religious and community events that will unfold in the following days.

While eager devotees might yearn for immediate access, a temporary waiting period has been implemented. To accommodate the influx of international visitors and ensure a smooth experience, UAE residents are encouraged to visit the temple from March 1st, 2024 onwards. Pre-registration through a dedicated website and app will become mandatory during this initial period.

This temporary measure allows the temple to prioritize specially-themed events planned for the first few weeks following the inauguration. These unique experiences, designed to celebrate the temple's opening, cater to the large number of international visitors who have already secured their visits through prior registration.

Though a brief delay for residents, the wait promises to be well worth it. By March 1st, the temple will open its arms to all, offering a space for worship, learning, service, and cultural exploration. Whether seeking spiritual solace, intellectual engagement, or community connection, the BAPS Hindu Temple stands as a beacon of unity, ready to welcome all with open arms.

In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
