Empire state building on the left |
On my recent visit to Brooklyn, New York, I was walking towards Brooklyn bridge, I decided to venture into a different direction. I went under the Manhattan bridge observed that at the junction of Water street and Washington Street, there were so many people on the road taking pictures. At first I thought, that it was difficult for the cars to pass by. At first I thought that some celebrity must be there. So l too became curious and explored the street. To my astonishment, I saw the majestic empire state building framed inside the Manhattan bridge.

An architecture that captures generations of spirituality and history.
The Swaminarayan temple in Chino Hills, California is a place worth visiting.
The architecture of the temple is par excellence. Guided by the ancient scriptures, the architecture captures generations of spirituality and history.
It is constructed with a combination of Indian pink stone and Italian marble. It has:
2 domes
5 pinnacles
4 balconies
122 pillars
129 archways.
Each piece of stone is intricately hand carved.

Earthquake safe:
The temple utilizes cutting edge seismic technology to protect itself from earthquakes. The technology, known as base isolation systems, consisting of steel plates stacked together with viscous liquid to allow for lateral movements in the event of an earthquake. The temple is supported by 40 isolators, which allow the upper portion of the temple to remain separate from the lower structure.
