It's very good Hindu temple. All Hindu puja ( specially Bengali culture related Puja) are celebrating Very beautifully and religiously . The have ample car parking which help during festivals. They recently built new temple and community hall . They are more money oriented . Before Covid at least they allow to visit temple to darshan at the time durga/ kali .. but now it’s like give money at least $$ then will see good . Charging money for food acceptable but charging money for only visit temple for during biggest Bengali festival .. they looks like private organizations not temple or non profit organizations.

I am a regular visitor to Ananda Mandir and it provides me inner peace. The priest of the temple is very courteous & cordial. However it is the management and the way they conduct festivals sucks!!! I know there are few members who are very nice people however the position holders just seem to care about MONEY MONEY MONEY. During festivals, Anand Mandir only allows people inside temple who pre-register after giving $$. Why? Because they want to have an exact count of people visiting so that food can be prepared accordingly. It is fine but there are so many people who just want to visit temple & take blessings. Why is food imposed? Looking for donations is important but forcing people to donate and not allow them inside without donation is a sin. My friends say it's not a temple but a club and I don't disagree with them.

That man with a clean head (maybe the priest of Ananda Mandir) must know how to behave with the visitors. I have never seen such rude behavior in the temple. There are many good Hindu temples nearby, do not waste your time here unless you want to get a bad experience.

You can perform Darshan. Registration is not mandatory for Maa Darshan as per best of my knowledge.
