This is the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple. Would you believe this is located in Lilburn, Georgia? The estimated cost of the temple is $19 million. According to Wiki, more than 1,300 craftsmen and 900 volunteers worked on building the temple. More than 4,500 tons of Italian Carrara marble, 4,300 tons of Turkish limestone, and 3,500 tons of Indian pink sandstone were quarried and shipped to the craftsmen in India, and then shipped to the U.S.
