Decades ago, Pramukh Swami Ji Maharaj laid out a grand vision for the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir complex in Chicago. That vision included a grand Shikharbaddh mandir situated between two symmetrically constructed buildings with traditional haveli-type architecture. Pramukh Swami Ji Maharaj took an active interest ensuring that the complex blended traditional architecture with modern amenities, and provided ample resources for the youth, including a gym and classrooms for physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.
