Representing the only Congressional District in America with three BAPS Mandirs, it was my absolute honor to travel to India to visit BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha in New Delhi. I have long seen the extraordinary impact that BAPS has had in our Bucks and Montgomery County communities. To stand with BAPS in India—among friends and partners I know so well at home—was profoundly meaningful.
@BAPS is more than a spiritual institution; it is a force for good—uplifting families, guiding youth, responding to crises, and building bridges across cultures. I am so grateful for their gracious hospitality in India, and I am proud to continue to partner with them here at home in our community. @BAPS_PubAffairs
The U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance & their children visited Swaminarayan Akshardham in Delhi—their first stop in India—experiencing its majestic art, architecture & timeless values of faith, family & harmony.

America was founded on the right to practice faith freely. BAPS temples in Melville, Sacramento, & now Chino Hills have been targeted with hate. These are places of worship and service — not for ugly political attacks. We stand with @BAPS. Hate has no place here. https://t.co/uSvoQsQUeg
This Pennsylvania barbershop is helping children build their confidence, paying young customers $3 to read stories aloud while getting a haircut deserves unlimited retweets..
This vile desecration was an unconscionable act meant to sow division and hatred. Such heinous assaults of prejudice strike at the heart of our shared humanity and must be met with swift resolve. Today, and always, we stand with our Hindu brothers and sisters. We must unequivocally, and without hesitation, condemn violence and hatred in all its forms—together, we must rise above it, rooted in the principles of compassion, respect, and a shared commitment to peace and justice.
I strongly condemn this act of desecration of a Hindu temple in Melville, NY. Freedom of worship is a bedrock of our democracy. There is no place for acts of intimidation, harassment or violence. We need accountability and to make sure this does not happen again.
Thank you, @RepBrianFitz (PA-1) for joining our volunteers at the annual @BAPSCharities In The Joy of Others: Walk-Run in Warrington, PA, to support the Warrington Township Police Department! We appreciate your dedication to our community.
This is Swaminarayan Akshardham, a colossal Hindu temple in Delhi built with marble and limestone and covered in thousands of sculptures.
But this is not an ancient temple — it is less than twenty years old.
And it might change the future of architecture...
Each time I visit one of these celebrations, I was lucky enough to share the joy as we celebrated among friends and family. May your next year be a peaceful and prosperous one. Thank you for your commitment to our Hindu community and Happy Diwali to all!
Diwali must be permanently recognized as a Federal Holiday. In honor of our amazing Hindu community across PA-1, I'm proud to be an original co-sponsor of the Diwali Day Act with @RepGraceMeng, to forever enshrine the significance and meaning of the Festival of Lights.
Congressman Glenn Grothman from Wisconsin commends the faith, dedication, and community spirit behind Akshardham. He highlights the importance of such efforts in building a stronger community. #CommunityStrength#Akshardham
