WELCOME TO THE

Wednesday 2 September to Monday 14 September 2026

Fifty-six years ago, a prayer was whispered for a spiritual home in France. This September, that prayer becomes reality.

Join us for the Festival of Culture – a 13-day celebration marking the historic inauguration of BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir, Paris. Beyond being the first traditionally designed, stone Hindu temple in France, this will be a sanctuary of faith, harmony, and service for all of Europe.

Set in Bussy-Saint-Georges in the eastern suburbs of Paris, this cultural festival will bring diverse communities together

in the joy and gratitude of our shared humanity.
