Breathtaking for sure…read more Being here felt almost the same as being inside the Sagrada in Spain and/or the Notre Dame in Paris. Same vibe, different deity. Our reservation was on a rainy Sunday. We got there before they were even open. There was already a line of cars that clearly stressed out the staff overseeing the entrance. At one point, one guy started running and told everyone they needed to turn right around and were then told to drive to the other side. A few cars were let in. We assumed they were staff. We were directed towards the huge parking lot which seemed more like the actual entrance. The first thing we saw was the massive statue. We did take some time to enjoy the flowers outside and the rest of things to be seen before going inside. Realistically, you really only need a couple hours. As soon as we entered the main building, numerous volunteers were available if you needed help, directions or whatever else. Our group of 4 started out together then we separated and did our own thing. I mostly followed the signs telling you where you should walk towards. My favorite thing was standing in the middle of a mandala on the floor then I would stare up and marble at the artistry. Every corner looked the same yet different. I took the time to read the description on the displays. Some folks were more fascinating than others, imho. We made sure to watch the short documentary playing in one of the theaters then grabbed a bite at the small cafe serving coffee, chain and some small bites. They also have a school style cafeteria where you can have hot foods. We didn't partake as we had lunch plans. We did however make sure to visit their gift shop where I ended up buying an unnecessary amount of incense. Shockingly, their pricing was very low. I'm from SoCal and typically get my incense from crystal shops or Venice Beach and the selection here was cheaper and smelled far better. The women in the shop were so nice and friendly. A must visit if you're in the area. I'm going to be visiting the one in SoCal when I get back home.

I had been waiting to visit this temple the day it was open. I don't drive & going to NJ from…read moreStaten Island without a car is a pain so finally one of my closest friend who had a school project & he requested that i join him & give him some ideas for the project. Respectfully I chose my own cultural clothing to show respect while I am there . And everyone loved & appreciated that where ever I was going . All the volunteers are absolutely amazing besides one. I almost cried & thought of leaving immediately. But some older gentleman reminded me not to ruin my peace & happy journey here for just one person. She was so racist, mean, have no idea how to treat people. I was probably one of the first hijaby she met on a Hindu temple and her heart couldn't take it ! I grow up with a father who was very close to culture, different religions never bothered him while making friends. Most of his friends are Hindu actually & we grow up like one family. So going to a temple & showing respect isn't new to me. I was gonna make a written complaint but I have decided to let it go & be a better person! If you are residing in New Jersey then you should not miss this temple. One of my all time favorite 'Awe' moments! There is a section where you are not allowed to take any pictures, that's the area I feel like not leaving ! A must see . If you wanna do a photoshoot try to make an appointment in advance, so they don't give you any problems. I don't think you have to pay anything for that , I am not sure though. But most of the areas you can definitely take pictures as much as you want with your phone . They have a big cafeteria, and the food is good . They also have a gift shop and as a South Asian I was shocked how cheap the items are considering outside in any other places. I ended up buying a lot of stuff , very good idea to get stuff for gifts . I am dreaming to come back again with some comfortable shoes lol !

A very unassuming religious place right from the outset. We have crossed this temple couple of…read moretimes not even knowing it was a religious place. Thanks to one of our relatives who pointed us to this temple. This Hindu temple has deities in the forms worshipped in the eastern part of India - Kolkata. They deities look so beautiful to the eyes and wonderfully adorned in silk clothing. The temple has a large hall and at the farther end of it has the deities lined up from left to right. The priest warmly welcomed us and invited us to visit in the future again. They have a decent parking space and mandates mask-wearing. I'm not sure if this place is handicap-friendly as there are few stairs in order to climb to the ground level.

Quite serene and peaceful …read more.. we always visit this temple in Durga Puja or Kali Pujo. this is Bengali temple and it has its branches all over India. big hall room having all god's idols ( Ram Ji-Sita Ji-Laxman Ji-Hanuman Ji-Vishnu Ji-Laxmi Ji-Krishna-Radha-Shankar Ji-Parvati Ji-Kali maa-Saraswati maa-Ganesh Ji-Durga Maa. quite peaceful and pious environment. its gets crowded in Durga Puja and getting parking is really difficult thought management arranges to park nearby. In the basement, activities take place. They have their website where activities list are placed and they are very punctual about timings of Puja. Unlike other Pujas in NJ, they don't force you to make a donation ( though we do our part whenever we visit). if you are in a nearby area, you should consider coming to this temple once. we love to keep coming here

I visited the Sri Mahaperiyava Temple in Flemington, NJ for the first time and felt truly blessed…read more It's a Shaivite temple where Mahaperiyava is revered as an avatar of Lord Shiva. Inside, the Kamakshi Ammavaru mandapam immediately caught my attention -- the walls are adorned with small, beautiful idols of Mahakali, Rajarajeshwari, Ardhanareeshwari, Varahi, and Bhairavam. The Kamakshi Ammavaru vigraham is very small, yet incredibly divine and captivating. There is another building next to the temple that includes an auditorium hall and a basement. In the basement, annadanam is served on weekends at 12:30 pm by dedicated volunteer devotees.

I find it more as a blessing to even add this place to Yelp and to write its first review…read more Mahaperiyava as He is fondly known as is a Hindu pontiff from southern India and this is a temple being built (still in construction phase) keeping His holiness as the main idol. This has come to fruition due to the strong belief and determination of several of His devotees. You can still visit this place where they have kept His idol and few more idols of lord Ganesha and Goddess Kamakshi in the makeshift mandapam (hall that will be used for other religious services and weddings after the temple gets constructed). Parking space is humongous and can never be a problem. I look forward to seeing this temple getting completed and see His divine form soon in the new sanctum Santorum.

As you arrive at this temple, you realize what you have seen from Turnpike is only a tip of the iceberg. This temple is just humongous in size with beautiful lightings and has a massive parking area. The temple has tall columns that are intricately designed and built. Enter and you will find a divine atmosphere with the deities. This is one of the Swaminarayan temples that has men and women divided between two sides while worshipping. They have a marketplace with a lot of gifts, snacks and readymade food items and a canteen which was not open while we were there.
