The deities are nice but holy hell this temple is dirty! Does the management not care to present a…read moreclean, organized space to the large number of devotees that frequent your premises? I didn't touch the Prashad because of the way milk is left outside in the shoes area. Dirty rice cookers just placed willy nilly on the pathway that we use to walk around the deities. The priest was doing Abhishek and tossing milk cartons in front of the seated devotees. It just is so hard to feel spiritual and cleansed if you're surrounded by human disorder. Please go take a look at other temples to know how to conduct yourselves when doing an Abhishek. A pile of growing trash tossed out of the sanctum is hardly a spiritual experience. I wish the shoes area was clean as well but it's not. It's a mess. Please teach your staff to treat a holy area with some respect. As Hindus, we think it's wrong to find fault with a holy place but this review is strictly about how mismanaged everything over here is. It's about the disrespect shown by its people, not the deities.

One woman told me I can't sit in the prayer because I am wearing track pants & Tshirt I NEED TO WEAR INDIAN ATTIRE to be a part of the puja. She was speaking Telugu so few things I didn't understand. That's sick. I feel sad for her. I still sat for the puja. God doesn't decide the dress so what's with this sick mentality woman. I really wish I knew her name so that way she could stand out. I request the temple management to kindly take care of such situations politely. Her mentally is stinky. I would rather pray at home than being surrounded by such sick mental human. I am definitely never going back to this temple. Woman like her is a harm to the environment.

Take a turn onto Arrowhead Avenue and suddenly there's this giant structure that looks straight out of India. What I really like about this temple is that it was built to be a Hindu temple -- it's not a converted church, like some of the other temples I've been to (which are also nice, in their own way). People have donated a lot of money to keep the temple looking authentic and well-maintained. I like going inside the main building and visiting all the murtis in their little houses. It is the suburbs, after all. Even the deities have nice cribs.
