London: Britain's King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Wednesday observed prayers and spiritual offerings during a visit to mark the 30th anniversary celebrations of BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, popularly known as Neasden Temple, in London.

The 76-year-old monarch was greeted with the traditional nadachadi, or sacred thread tying ceremony symbolising bonds of peace and friendship, by Head Priest Sadhu Yogvivekdas Swami.

The royals, who removed their shoes at the entrance, were garlanded with flowers tied with pearls before a tour of the ornate temple complex - Europe's first traditional Hindu stone temple, which opened in August 1995.
