In Sanskrit, Mandir means a place where the mind becomes still and experiences inner peace. Since Vedic times, India’s sages have been enlightened with profound spiritual truths that served as basis of their rituals, philosophies, scientific discoveries and religious faith. In a similar token, this Mandir aims to serve as a place of understanding and appreciation of India art, culture and religion for generations to come.
