Leaders and volunteers from BAPS met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit in Paris. Volunteers updated the PM on the progress of the new BAPS mandir being constructed in Paris.

Modi learned how the temple, which is being constructed at the Esplanade des religions et des cultures – the multifaith and multicultural heartland of Paris – will become mainland Europe’s first traditional purpose-built mandir and will promote culture, integrity, and harmony.

Paris is home to some of the world’s most iconic monuments and exquisite buildings. Modi was delighted to learn that France is embracing India’s architectural beauty with the addition of this BAPS Hindu Mandir.

The PM met with the mandir’s project team and architects Arte Charpentier as well as Andrew Hobson (Managing Director/Principal) and Nahla Jojo-Legrand (Project Director). Hobson explained to the PM that this project is one of the most significant cultural projects in France today, as it will bring Indians and the people of France closer together. In addition, Nahla Jojo-Legrand expressed how privileged and honoured they all are to work on this iconic project and to be part of its history.
