The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir temple on a highway north of Toronto is an architectural wonder. It opened in 2007 to much fanfare. How it is constructed is described here. The building uses no steel, only stone and traditional Vedic building techniques, and much of it is handcrafted by almost 2,000 Indian craftsmen. The temple also houses the new Canadian Museum of Cultural Heritage of Indo-Canadians.
