Of all the places to visit in New Jersey, I recommend going to the Hindu temple, it is beautiful and so is every part of its architecture. It is very nice to learn about other cultures and I loved that every detail has something spatial from its ceilings to its columns. I recommend visiting it.

A hand holds a red rose with a brain inside, dripping liquid, while a red snake coils around the wrist. The title reads 'BEFORE "THE DEVIL": THE SACRED SERPENT IN ANCIENT MYTH'. A 'SWIPE' arrow is visible.
An ornate depiction of Vishnu resting on the multi-headed serpent Ananta, flanked by two figures. Text describes Nagas as serpent deities in Hindu mythology, revered as protectors and symbols of both destruction and renewal.
