Locating a Jain Mandir in Atlanta
September 11th, 2007
Atlanta even has a Jain Society - I was struck by this revelation when Greg forwarded me its URL & I just had to visit it once I am in Atlanta - however far it could have been…
…& it turned out that I did not had to travel too much. Reaching the Jain Temple was easy. Where ever you are in Atlanta, get onto Marta and head over to the Doraville Station (NE10) and get youself transfered to the Number 10 Marta bus. Request the driver to drop you just before the crossing of “Buford Hwy NW” and “Jimmy Carter Blvd NW (140)”. You should be able to see a small cut in the road to your left, which goes inwards into the trees. If you follow the road, you should be able to find the Temple on your right in about just 500m walk - isnt that simple? - sure yeah! We spent from 3pm to 9pm finding it 
- a big thanks to Jaggu to accompany me haha, he sure was tired when we got back 
Here are some shots from _that_ adventure trip…
The Temple…
Entrance to the Mandir
Shrinivas (met him on the Marta) and Jaggu (Jagdish)
A not to be missed shot… at the stairs!
Some other memorable moments…
Jaggu met his love - the Cadillac
The cow which got us thinking that what the heck wasnt it moving? - we waited for 3 minutes, constantly staring at it to move atleast something - before announcing it to be a replica

Dear Maku
I have seen the other pictures of the tample and beautifull pond.
It is a lovely tample with lovely sorroundings.
You are lucky to visit this tample’
Now you know the location, you must go there at least once a week on weekends as per our standard practice.
It will be a good idea if you meet some of the local swadharmik jain bandhus.
With love
Dad

Nooo, it wasnt the jain temple - but Swaminarayan temple. Jain temple is the second pic in this blog post.
