The second-largest Hindu temple complex in the world is in central New Jersey and is open to the public. Check out a traditional stepped pond, a 49-foot gilded staue of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, hundreds of carvings of Hindu gods, and magnificent architecture. Admission is free. Guided tours are available, or just wander the grounds and the buildings.

There is a cafeteria and a gift shop, and the neighborhood is full of excellent Indian restaurants.
