BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Christchurch is a Hindu house of worship at 19 Frank Street in Papanui. It belongs to the Swaminarayan tradition and the BAPS organisation. The website invites people to join its prayer ceremonies, festivals and activities, and its updates mark festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Janmashtami and Raksha Bandhan. The site also shares teachings and information about the tradition, and a Sanskrit and peace-focused series of posts.
Visitors describe the temple as peaceful, devotional and divine. One reviewer, visiting when the temple was quiet, said it felt small but calm. Another said the place left them feeling energetic. The temple is one of the few places in Papanui devoted to worship, and the setting suits a quiet visit.
