This temple leaves one speechless and considering that this one of the oldest Hindu temples in the country, that is impressive. The main hall contains a variety of different shrines as well a very friendly staff testing for a fever prior to entry. After blessings, visitors can go down and try the temple Canteen which serves dosa and other vegetarian dishes. Overall I am very proud of the Hindu community in the US for keeping such temples so well maintained! Jai Mata Di!
The Shraddha and Bhakti of millions of devotees over these decades makes this place so divine. The darshan of Lord Ganesha is absolutely blissful ! The temple has managed to accommodate , however small; several other vigrahas of other deities commonly worshipped by the Hindu community. It's worth spending time. The Navagraha is planned and located well.
Place of Worship, Presiding diety is Mahavallabha Ganapathy , there are his parents and Brother ;Shiva Parvathi and Karthikeya with Lakshmi Saraswathi Vishnu and Bramha and other Gods from Hindu Pantheon. Nice cafeteria is a must visit
Good temple to visit and do pooja, archana. The place is clean and well built. You have "prathista" of all major gods, as I remember: Ganapathi, Shiva, Hanuman, Ram, Sita, Laxman, Krishna, Venkateshwara, Laxmi, Saraswati, Gayathri, Navagrahas, and many more. You are not allowed to wear footwear inside the temple and to take photos and videos. They have a pandit/pujari doing pooja there. Check temple timings before visiting. They have canteen, a place to park, a place to keep your footwear, a place to wash your hands and feet and a toilet in that location. I would recommend this place for a visit.
