“Must visit place as it helps for performing hindu rituals,meditation, spiritual and free food service. Hymns and prayers were performed and everyone was enjoying the spiritual vigilance and vibe”
“It’s a place were we were sheltered, they gave us clothes to wear, food to eat, and words of encouragement when we needed it, from the reverend herself, Rev Brianne, we are forever thankful for the love and magnanimity.”
“Omg its amazing loving caring. Our priest is the best, number 1. You walk in and you feel relaxed, everything off your shoulder, your mind at ease. Just excellent. Our priest is number 1.”
“This place touched my soul. It is the only place where I felt at home. Greeks have something special that they transmit to you without saying anything. It is warmth, presence, tradition, love and faith. A modest place governed by Saint Nektarios who makes his presence felt. I am Romanian but in this church I feel at home, and the people in the church inspire me in the most pleasant way and I thank them. With love, Ecaterina!”

“Absolutely breathtaking! The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Toronto is hands-down one of the most beautiful temples I’ve ever visited, and easily the grandest in Canada. Opened in 2007, this place is pure magic — every inch is hand-carved marble shipped from India, with no steel or metal used in the entire mandir structure. The detail is insane: millions of gods, goddesses, peacocks, and floral patterns cover every pillar and ceiling. It genuinely feels like stepping into a piece of ancient India right in the middle of Toronto.
The complex has two stunning parts: the traditional Gujarati-style wooden haveli (18th-century vibe with gorgeous teak carvings) and the sparkling white marble mandir itself. Inside, the ground floor welcomes you with the adorable Balroop of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, while upstairs is the main shrine area with multiple murtis, a peaceful meditation zone, and a jaw-dropping 6-ton central dome that somehow floats without any visible support — engineering and artistry at its finest.
Don’t miss the little museum ($5 adults, $3 kids) — totally worth it for the history and culture. The on-site Shayona shop and café are fantastic too: fresh sweets, biscuits, pickles, and snacks made right there — I’ve tried the pedas and khakra and can confirm they’re delicious!
Whether you’re spiritual or just love incredible architecture, this mandir will leave you speechless. A must-visit in Toronto.”
