Since the grand opening of the BAPS Hindu Mandir, the number of visitors have significantly grown due to the overwhelming love and support from the public.

Despite the Mandir complex regularly reaching full capacity, the authorities anticipate that the crowds will further increase during the upcoming festival holidays of Eid and Ramnavmi etc.

Daily numbers growing

A Mandir spokesperson stated “the love and affection shown by hundreds of thousands of visitors and devotees to the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi since its opening to the public on March 1 has touched many hearts. It has been truly overwhelming. The daily numbers have been consistently growing and are astronomical on weekends and special days.”

With the growing popularity of the BAPS Hindu Mandir for spiritual seekers and tourists alike, managing visitor flow and ensuring a seamless experience have become a priority.

Pre-registration

To manage the increasing number of visitors, a new pre-registration booking process will be implemented to ensure a more organised and enjoyable visit.

Through the booking process, visitors can select their preferred date and time slot, reducing wait times and enhancing the visitor experience.

The Mandir management are keen to adhere to the rules and advisories of the UAE authorities in matters of crowd control and the safety of the visitors, especially on religious occasions.

The BAPS Hindu Mandir encourages all visitors to use the new pre-registration system to plan their visit and make the most of their time. For more information and to register your visit, please visit https://www.mandir.ae/visit
