Vedic Planetarium, World's Largest Temple

Bigger than the Taj Mahal and St Paul's Cathedral in Vatican, an under-construction temple in West Bengal's Mayapur will be the largest religious monument in the world. Set to be inaugurated in 2024 after a two-year delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Temple of Vedic Planetarium in Nadia district will reportedly replace Cambodia's 12th century-built Angkor Wat temple complex, spread over 400 acres of land, as the world's largest religious structure.
