Handcarved
This is the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple. More than 1,300 craftsmen and 900 volunteers worked on building the temple. They used more than 4,500 tons of Italian Carrara marble, 4,300 tons of Turkish limestone, and 3,500 tons of Indian pink sandstone. The stone was quarried and shipped to the craftsmen in India, and then shipped to the U.S.

That has to be one of the most amazing buildings in this country. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention.
Wow! That's beautiful. Especially with the gorgeous blue sky in the background.
It is amazing. I was amazed when I visited. The interior of the temple is stunning! The Atlanta metro area isn't where I would have expected to find such a temple, but I love that it's here.
