The Swaminarayan Tradition is a spiritual movement within Hinduism founded by Swaminarayan, also known as Ghanshyam Maharaj, in the early 19th century in India. It emphasizes devotion to God, moral living, and community service. Followers believe in the teachings of Swaminarayan, which promote values such as compassion, honesty, and self-discipline. The tradition is characterized by its unique rituals, temples, and festivals, with prominent sects like the BAPS (Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha) and the Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan. Temples built in this tradition often feature intricate architecture and serve as community centers for spiritual and social activities.
