The Indianapolis Indiana Temple rises amid the serene surroundings of Carmel, an Indianapolis suburb. The first temple in the Hoosier State and the 148th temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Indianapolis Indiana Temple serves 30,000 Latter-day Saints in Indiana and eastern Illinois.

The temple’s exterior architecture includes a pattern of vertical lines that draw the eyes heavenward. The temple’s beautiful spire is inlaid on each side with three panels of art glass, creating a striking tower of light at night. Standing atop the spire at 106 feet from the ground is an 8.5-foot, 900-pound gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni.
