If tourists come to Mayapur, it's primarily for TOVP, the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium. The scale is staggering:

  • Over 113 meters in height, taller than the Taj Mahal (73 meters)
  • A budget of around 100 million dollars
  • Among the sponsors is Alfred Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford

Inside will be not just a temple, but a planetarium dedicated to Vedic cosmology: a model of the Universe as described in ancient scriptures. This architectural marvel represents a modern embodiment of ancient spiritual knowledge and has become a symbol of Mayapur's spiritual mission.

The world's largest Vaishnava temple
