Swami Sri Lakshmi Narayana Temple, constructed in Abu Dhabi, has gained worldwide fame, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating it recently.
Sharing his experience, Ramesh Bafna said, “We were truly blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to explore the magnificent architecture inside and outside the Mandir. The serene and holistically blessed environment created a sense of peace and tranquility in Arab Country that touched our hearts.”
