Union Minister for Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal has digitally analysed the 3D translucent crystalline model of the upcoming BAPS Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi, which is being showcased at the India Pavilion of the Expo 2020 Dubai that commenced here. Goyal, who inaugurated the India Pavilion at the expo on Friday, was left with admiration as he analysed the 3D model of the BAPS Temple. "This BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi will be amazing once completed," he said, enquiring about when it will be finished. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2018 laid the foundation stone for the Swaminarayan temple of the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan (BAPS) Sanstha through videoconferencing from the Dubai Opera House, where he addressed the members of the Indian community. Once completed, it would be the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi. The construction of the iconic BAPS Temple began in December 2019. The current structure under construction stands at a height of 15-feet.
Expo previously said that its 200,000 labourers who built the site worked some 240 million hours in its construction.
