Top 5 for most beautiful places in So. Cal. Arrived at 8:50am and was greeted by the gate guard. He…read moregave us a map, info, and guided us towards parking. There are plenty of parking spots for free. Entered the visitor center and was given a rundown by employee. Proceeded to the temple, which is the most incredible thing I've seen. It felt like we were transported out of Cali. You place your shoes on a shoe rack before proceeding up the stairs. The temple was beyond words. No phones, talking, hats or shoes allowed inside. Took the elevator to basement, where we walked through a museum before exiting back to the shoe rack. Went back to the visitor center, where we enjoyed browsing the gift store and cafe. There is an amazing selection of snacks. The experience was 10/10.

Beautiful, beautiful Hindu temple! Super glad I got the opportunity to stop by and see it. My…read morefriends and I made the trip to Chino Hills to visit the Sonic Speed Cafe that was coming to an end in May, so we finally bit the bullet and made the trip over, but knowing it was pretty small I looked up other things to do in the area and this temple popped up! We made the mistake of following Google Maps' directions and it led us to a gate that was closed. Not being familiar with the location, we decided to just park on the street and walk until we found an open gate in the scorching sun that day. That was a mistake, although I suppose I appreciate the exercise. If you find gates closed, just drive around the venue until you find an open one. There's plentiful parking in the venue and it's free! Security will give you a sheet with a list of things not to do. FYI, there's a rule of no backpacks, but specifically this is in regards to large ones. I panicked a little bit because I always just have a small backpack on me in lieu of a purse, but the kind lady at check-in explained that it was fine. They allow photos of the outside of the temple, but no photos of the interior. Shame, but I completely understand. I really highly recommend visiting this place if you get the chance. This is by far the most beautiful and insanely detailed architectural temple I've seen in Socal. The interior was absolutely breathtaking. If I'm ever in the area again I'd stop by just to see it and take anyone else I know to see it.

This Hindu Temple is absolutely beautiful and peaceful…read more Took some time a while back for personal reflection at the Hindu Temple in Malibu, a truly beautiful and peaceful sanctuary. It's a SMALLER Hindu Temple with beautiful architecture, do don't expect it to a big temple that you will spend a few any hours there 1 hour is definitely enough for you to walk around and check them out. You have to take off your shoes upon entering the outdoor Temple. The last time I went, there was no fee to enter and no parking fee to the temple. (I read recent visitors got charged and a $10 parking fee so call them first to find out). The temple could also be close for a special events, so do plan ahead accordingly. Take the 10 West all the way down. It's about 25 miles out from the beginning of PCH on the 10 W.

We've ended up visiting Siva Kameswari Temple in Costa Mesa a couple of times, and each visit brings a sense of peace. Parking is free, which is convenient, and sometimes you even get to hear live traditional music being played inside, adding to the spiritual vibe. Another unique touch is its location--right next to Santa Ana airport--so you can watch planes land up close. If you have kids, they might especially enjoy that part.

On festival days usually there is a huge rush, but the temple staff manages it really well and neither me nor my family ever felt the inconvenience. The main temple priest is well-versed in the Vedic rituals and explains them very patiently. And the bonus my kids love the food there.

This is a temple…read morefor the modern devotee and it really allows for you to experience the core representatives of all of Hinduism, Puranas and Vedas in one sitting. This temple celebrates Sankranthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Siva Ratri, you name it. In other scenarios, it also pays attention to holy days such as Pradosham, Guru Poornima, etc. Most of it all, any major celebrations always mean that there is Maha Prasadam. Who doesn't want a cultural plate of tasty goodness?! Whether it is for a hearty prayer, or a touristy, culture-curious drop-in, I would highly suggest a visit here. It will leave you with a newfound sense of interest and further curiosity.
