Reportedly, the Robbinsville temple is one of several temples constructed by the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), a global religious and civic organization affiliated with the Swaminarayan sect. This temple marks the third Akshardham, or "abode of the divine," established by the organization, following those in New Delhi and Gujarat, where the BAPS headquarters is located. The former is recognized as the largest Hindu temple complex worldwide. As the sect approaches its 50th anniversary in North America next year, it oversees more than 1,200 temples and 3,850 centers across the globe.
