The recent growth in community participation has given a strong impetus towards continuing the construction of the permanent structure for the temple. Planning is underway for a multi-phase construction of the temple that follows the "Agama" and "Vasthu Shastras" (temple science/architecture). The temple's design will follow the Chola Dynasty (10th Century) style of South Indian architecture.
With the effort and dedication of the volunteers in the valley, members in several other Hindu temples in North America and India, local engineers and architects, we have been able to make rapid progress on the temple construction plans and accomplish Phase I part of the project. All poised to continue construction of Phase II part of the project, the Temple appeals to every community member to support the Noble cause and become a "Proud Temple Builder".
Volunteer for the Temple
With the blessings of Lord Maha Ganapati, our Temple is rapidly expanding in serving the needs of the Arizona community. The tremendous commitment and dedication of the many volunteers is unmatched and a great source of pride for our temple.
As we move forward at this rapid pace, there is an even greater need for more of us to step up and get involved in helping the Temple.
