I loved this temple a lot. The artistry is so perfect, the whole ambience of the place is calm, soothing and the guards are generous and kind. This temple is top notch clean n tidy which is the main thing I loved about this place. Picturesque is the perfect adjective that fits here. There’s parking space so its easy to commute with your own vehicle. It has canteen which serves pure veg, healthy food.

The peaceful atmosphere resembles the heaven.. A must visit place with family or with your beloved one.. The designs engrave on the temple r immensely beautiful, just mind blowing.. There is parking slot available for bikes & cars & also vegetarian restaurant you can find there. The photography inside the temple is not allowed, you can click photos outside the temple & can save the beauty of the ambience in your phone gallary..

The place is located right beside the NH 117 (Diamond Harbor Road). It is built on a huge area, with enough space for parking, a vegetarian cafeteria, lawns, park, and of course, the temple.It is beautifully decorated, and it has a peaceful ambience. It is well maintained by the staff, and you can visit it during specific timings of the day.

Beautiful architecture, grandeur in the middle of nowhere. Built of red sandstone the interiors are breathtaking as well. The compound is very spacious,.clean and very well maintained.The restrooms are clean and parking lot is available.Word of caution, if you are planning to visit in the evening hrs(4 to 7 pm), better hire a cab else leave early as the app cabs are a tad difficult to find due to the remoteness.

BAPS Shree Swaminarayan Mandir” Joka is one of the biggest temples in Kolkata as well as West Bengal. “Swaminarayan” temples are present across different locations in India, the “Akshardham Temple”, New Delhi being the largest of all.Swami Narayan Temple at Kolkatawas consecrated and opened to public in the year 2014. History states that Lord Swaminarayan (as Nilkanth Varni) had passed through this land to visit Ganga Sagar (Sagar Island) in the Bay of Bengal.Located at Bhasa, Joka right on Kolkata – Diamond Harbor Road the ambience of the mandir is truly serene and sublime.Sprawling across a vast green campus the temple structure is a marvel of modern architecture; the pillars, the roof etc. are decorated with extremely delicate sand stone and marble sculptures which is really spellbinding.Things to remember:The temple is open to visitors from 7:30 am till 12:00 noon and then again from 3:30 pm – 8:00 pm. The “Evening Aarti” is at 6:30 pm.

Road.Have ample car and two-wheller parking space. Family with children can surely pay a visit during week days or holidays best suited.Evening prayer with Aarati along with prayer chants will make your soul purely devine and blissful.People with a spiritual bent of mind must pay a visit.Rest room, food courts ( only Veg) are also available inside the premises.

We can call it Place of Peace, the worship Shree Swaminarayan’s temple. The for form of BAPS is Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. In Kolkata it is situated Bhasa, Diamond Harbour Road, where you will find ample communication options. The temple itself has a big paid parking area for bike, car and bus.The temple is a great place for visiting with family and friends to hangout for a day. The architecture of this temple is a unique and stunning creation in its own. The artwork is so amazingly done in all over the temple which will makes it exception and architectural masterpiece. Beside the main temple there are several branch temples to visit. There is a big canteen with numerous completely veg dishes, tea, coffee, samosa, dosa, cold drinks etc. and approx. 500 sitting arrangements inside it. A central library is also there inside the temple area. Enough space for roaming around and a big and clean washroom is also available. For puja purpose there are two tokening options are present to Swami Narayan 50/- for 2 100/- for 4. Timing for visiting the temple are daily 7:30 am - 10:30 am, 11:15 am - 12 pm, 4 pm - 5:30 pm, 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm, 8:00 pm - 8:15 pm and for Arti Shangar: 7:30 am, Rajbhog: 11:15 am, Sandhya: 6:30 pm, Shayan: 8:00 pm.I really liked this place, already visited 3 times, really a great experience overall. Recommending other to visit and explore.

The temple area, courtyard, gardens are huge. Away from the city, it is a calm place to relax yourself. Please do not mind one matter. I am a Bengali and the temples atmosphere and architecture is totally non Bengali. I couldnt fully feel a connection to this place as I came to explore it. Hope many others will. Food price @ the canteen is fairly high. Apart from the personal opinion, its a scenic and pleasant place.235 route bus is one of the buses plying over Diamond Harbour Road. Fare is ₹9.

This temple is an outstanding example of architecture, located in the suburbs of the city. It has a particular opening and closing time. You can visit the premises, and spend time entire day though cant enter the temple during its closure.Its a huge area well maintained, Aarti time is at 6pm and the temple remains closed from 12-3pm. Theres souvenir shop, veg restaurant inside which is pretty reasonable. Parking is available inside. Mobile and camera is not at all allowed in the temple. I managed somehow though, with a special reference. You will love to go there in winter especially.

This temple is an outstanding example of architecture located at outskirts of Kolkata near Pailan. The temple is made and maintained by Swaminarayan trust and is a copy of Akshardham Temple of New Delhi.The temple area are huge it has big garden, fountains, food court, gift shop and a huge parking area. The temple area is very clean and well maintained as well as their garden and food court. The atmosphere inside the temple is very peaceful and calm.But the temple authority prohibited photography here just to earn some money by selling temple pictures I guess. And also the food price at the canteen is a bit high I think cause I have visited many temples and compared to them its pretty much high but this canteen is very hygienic and clean apart from other temple.

First thing you need to know that they doesnt allow you to take mobile or camera.Its a biggest drawback of this place. And secondly they allow you to enter only in temple timing. Temple remain close from 12 noon to 3.30 pm make sure you manage your time accordingly. Now coming to temple its build in very large area very well built. Very much clean area and garden is also maintained. There is canteen and restaurant inside you can have Food there they charge reasonable price. You will love this place at first sight but you cant take photos. They are very strict when they saw you clicking photos. There is big parking lot inside so there is no problem of parking

That was a very awesome day but the temple was closed due to pandemic. I requested the guard to let me come in but he refused again and again we waited there for long time but the God had no sympathy for us ☺️ I gone there with my bicycle and I had driven for almost 30 kilometre.The Mandir was just out of speech Mandir beauty cant be explained with words. It looked like you have gone to some ancient Indian time. I am waiting for the pen demic to be and and I will go again and its a very very very good place if you really want to visit a historical place or any most beautiful.

This was our first family outing after almost a year. The place is really beautiful, clean, well decorated, calm and peaceful. Also ample space for parking. We prayed and enjoyed. And when felt hungry went to the canteen located inside the temple premises. Clean and healthy food served here at nominal price. You can also buy organic vegetables grown at their farm. Some stores are present where one can buy a lot of different items. Will definitely visit again.

I love this place too much! Me my roommate visited here at afternoon. If you want a best experience of this place, then visit here at night or afternoon. I think its the best Temple in Diamond Harbour. Here you can also buy some of your favourite Indian delicious foods. If you want, you can also spend some time with your friends. And one more important thing is Mobile Phone is not allowed inside the temple. You have to submit your phone and then you can enter the temple.
