Andrew Ross Photography - Toronto Photographer |
A few weeks ago, during Doors Open Toronto, I visited the wonderful Hindu temple constructed north of the city last year. It’s officially known as a Mandir, and it’s the only building of it’s kind in Canada. This truly beautiful structure was built by 1,800 craftsmen using ancient building techniques and thousands of tonnes of hand carved marble, limestone and sandstone. There is no structural steel used in the construction and it is built to last more than 1,000 years.
Hi! My name is Andrew Ross and I am a photographer in Toronto who specializes in shooting interiors and food. This blog is more informal than the rest of my site, and follows both my personal and professional life. The content here may range from recent jobs and marketing materials, to personal projects or some of my favorite obsessions like coffee (I roast my own beans at home), single-malt scotch, or music (I still listen to vinyl records). Thanks very much for visiting and I hope this blog gives everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about.
Truly Amazing…!
This is truly breath taking and your photos are beautiful.
I had no idea there was such an amazing piece of ancient architectural history (building method) in Toronto. After looking at your photos I had to find out where the Mandir was and was shocked to find it so close to the city (427 and Finch) when it seems such a well kept secret!
Thanks for taking the time to blog about the Mandir…I can’t wait to see it for myself!
Thanks for the nice comments. When I was on the Doors Open tour the people in charge of the Mandir said they welcome visitors any time, and you don’t need an appointment. Before visiting please have a look at the web page below, which describes guidelines for visitors.
