About Temple

The HTKY is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood. So, you drive up to the entrance and then down a short shady road to reach the parking lot. You walk through an unassuming door and there’s a small hallway leading to the temple area in the right. The temple has deities from both the South and North of India and they have their own shrines. No shrine is given importance over another, there are scheduled poojas for almost each of them according to a weekly time table. They have chantings, festivals, grand poojas etc and the schedule can be found on a board there (or their website). There are two priests, one from Southern India and one from the north. They attend to every person that walks inside. I go to the temple a few times a year, on days when I feel particularly religious. When there is an event happening, which is on most days, it gets pretty crowded. I personally prefer to go when it is quiet and there’s not many people around. They are constantly making improvements, I believe there is going to be an expansion soon. My only peeve is, the roof is bare with piping running all over. It is no Aurora Balaji or Pittsburgh Perumal temple but it is the largest this state has got and it is very evident that they are striving hard to serve the spiritual needs of the local community.
