Have come here many times before. Always amazed by the local community involvement in the upkeep of the temple and its constant improvement projects. Masks were enforced for safety of the patrons. Certainly appreciated that as there were a lot of people visiting from all over the United States and some from foreign countries too. The canteen was open and the food was great like always. Kudos to the local community!!

The temple is management works great. It’s maintained clean and hygienic. The architecture is good and well maintained. All kinds of ritual activities are performed but there is still a lot of scope to improvise in aspects like aksharabhyasam and First hair offerings. People drive for hours with infants and kids to this temple to perform rituals but if the priest who does these is so casual and not that up to the mark then it really hurts us. I don’t say it’s bad but there is a lot for improvement only in this aspect. All other services all performed excellent to the standards. Even though the cafeteria is small in size, the food that’s served there is of top quality. The parking at the temple is well organized. Security is good.

We drove all the way from MN to visit the temple. This is one of the oldest Hindu Temples in the US. We had an amazing Dharshan. The place is full of Positive vibes. Must visit temple if you are in the US.

Well maintained Hindu temple. It was a only a 10 minutes dharsan. Though the crowd was very less they have been asking people to move faster. We have been planning to visit this temple for a long time and finally we have got appointment on a weekend. Looks like some construction is going around the temple.

Is there any option for elderly people who cannot climb steps?

Elderly people who cannot walk can't go to ticket counter, nor they can go to Lord Ganesha as it's on the way via steps after ticket counter, however, car can go straight up(as temple is built on an inclined land) where there is entrance directly to main deity. Still there is wheelchair lift to go few steps up further to go directly to the garbha gudi. They have lifts from there to prasadam place 2 floors down, and can go out from there to car as there is a door out

Just to answer myself. There is a separate shower room next to restrooms. Just ask the security personnel near by to unlock the door. The door automatically locks out once you are out of the shower room. :)
