The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (the temple's full name) is situated on a 20-acre site in Chino Hills. The complex includes a 91-foot lotus-shaped pond, a cultural center, gymnasium, grocery & gift shop, and classrooms. Approximately 900 volunteers, including many second-generation Indian-Americans, volunteered approximately 1.3 million man hours to construct the Mandir, completing it in 2012. The temple is constructed from 35,000 pieces of meticulously hand carved Italian Carrara marble and Indian Pink sandstone, completely etched by hand with intricate carvings.
