One of the best parts about Georgia is that there are hidden gems peppering the state that once you stumble across you’ll be in complete awe—like this beautiful architectural dreamscape, which you never would guess sits smack dab in the middle of Georgia. The Hindu Temple of Atlanta is truly a magical place and no matter your denomination, you’ll want to see this beaut in person.

The Hindu Temple of Atlanta was built in 1990 after a group of Hindu friends spent years trying to erect a place where they can come together.

The reason behind such intricate and careful architecture and sculpting is because Hindu temples are intended to mirror the human body.

What makes this Temple so special is that it was built entirely by hand—mixed with Turkish limestone, Italian marble and Indian pink sandstone.

Sculptors came from India to engrave the most intricate pieces by hand slowly, taking nearly three years to complete.
