Personal highlights
- Mandir (temple): this was the very first temple of this sect outside of India
- Swaminarayan: Hindu sect (religious variation) with 11 vows (or commandments)
- Acharyas: equivalent of the Christian pope, but the position is inherited by the son
- Prive guide: getting an interesting private tour after asking to enter the temple
- Praying: two separate rooms of equal size for men and women to pray
