History
In 1983, a group of Hindus began organizing religious gathering at Cleveland State University. In 1984, a charter was granted to the group and the name of the temple was established. In 1985, the group began renting a closed restaurant to hold temple gatherings. For several years, the search for a permanent place of worship continued amidst the perceived antagonism from the local community toward the development of a Hindu temple in North Royalton, Ohio. In 1987, the group purchased a building that sat on 22 acres of land in Parma, Ohio. In 1989, the building was renovated and transformed into a Hindu temple.
On 10 September 1989, the temple was inaugurated with the sacred images of the deities previously worshiped at the rented location in the presence 2,000 Hindus. In 1997, the temple was remodeled to accommodate the growing Hindu population and expanded to 32 Acres. In 2001, the priests’ housing was constructed and the installation of the temple’s shikhars were completed. In 2007 and 2008, the temple further expanded.
This is one of the temples that attracts the majority Indian population in the Cleveland area. The ambiance of this place is quite welcoming and relaxed. The priests are cheerful and are happy to help with any request. The place hosts religious ceremonies for most of the Indian festivals and prayers are offered daily in the morning and evening.
