The BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi, UAE, opened for public worship on March 1, following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration. The temple is open to all religions from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 am to 8 pm. It will be closed every Monday. To maintain a tranquil atmosphere, visitors must register before their visit, and groups with more than 10 people must book a group package. The temple also requires visitors to follow dress codes to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and respectful visit.
Dress codes include covering the body between the neck, elbow, and ankles, wearing offensive clothing, and avoiding translucent or light-fitting clothing. Non-compliance may result in entry. Staff conduct routine security checks upon arrival, so visitors are advised to allow extra time to pass through metal detector gates and luggage x-ray machines.
Photography, filming, and recording are permitted for personal, non-commercial use only, with permission for commercial or journalistic purposes required in advance. Authorized personnel may capture images of visitors and devotees for promotional and archival purposes, with visitors granting staff the right to use them for promotion, communication, and archiving, as long as they are not the primary subject.
