(I'd rather be in New Jerusalem with the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.  What a waste of money this new Hindu temple will be with a religion that leads no one to heaven.)
 
SECT BUILDS TEMPLE TO RIVAL PYRAMIDS
 
"IT IS being trumpeted as one of the biggest religious stone structures in the world, rivalling the Great Pyramid at Giza, and has a legion of famous backers. It is thought that Sir Paul McCartney is one of those who has been approached."
"Supporters of the multi-million-pound Akshardham Hindu temple complex in India say they expect to play host to dignitaries including former presidents Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton at the opening next month."

"This weekend 7,000 builders, stonemasons and polishers were working round the clock to complete the complex, which covers 30 acres. Devotees claim that it has been built to withstand earthquakes and will last at least 1,000 years."

"Although the raw materials for the temple are estimated to have cost more than £50m, it is difficult to place a true price on the project because much of the labour has been carried out by volunteers."

"At the heart of the site is a palace-like monument built from at least 12,000 tons of pink sandstone and white marble from Rajasthan. Topped with a series of domes, it is 129ft high, 275ft wide and 315ft long. Almost every square inch of the exterior has been decorated with carvings of Hindu deities and Indian flora and fauna, including elephants."
