King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, London Wednesday, celebrating the temple's 30th anniversary. The visit coincided with Diwali and Hindu New Year celebrations. Europe's first traditional Hindu stone temple welcomed the Royal couple, who met worshippers and representatives from community initiatives supported by the temple, including The Felix Project and Women of the World (WoW). The Royal Family announced the engagement on X, highlighting the historic milestone. The Neasden Temple, opened in 1995, represents a significant cultural landmark for Britain's Hindu community. Their Majesties' visit underscores the monarchy's recognition of Britain's diverse religious communities and commitment to interfaith dialogue during one of Hinduism's most auspicious festivals.
