Hsi Lai Temples & BAPS Shri Mandir June 26, 2026 #temples

There are two MUST see temples while visiting Los Angeles. The Hsi Lai Temple a Buddhist monastery located in Hacienda Heights established in 1988, and acts as a cultural & spiritual bridge between East and West, offering meditation, education, and hosting traditional Ming/Qing dynasty architecture. Next one not to miss is BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a Hindu temple located in Chino Hills. Its exterior is beautifully landscape and very impressive, intricately designed Mandir inside/out. Best thing both places are free and just ask for donation.
