Dev Mandir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Swaminarayan Hindu philosophy, a Dev Mandir (or Hari Mandir) is a Hindu temple where pictorial images of deities are installed.[1]

In such mandirs, the Aarti is performed once in the morning and once in the evening.[2] The daily rituals differ to those performed in a Shikharband Mandir.[1]
