The Hindu temple, or mandir, in Lilburn, Ga., is a traditional structure made of stone and marble, constructed in 18 months.
The outside of the temple is Turkish limestone.
The interior and carved pillars are made of Italian marble, and the foundation is built from Indian pink sandstone, symbolizing that the culture and roots of the temple are in India.
This close-up of the outside railings shows the detailed carving. All of the stone was hand-carved in India and imported to the United States.
