Sri Vakrathunda Vinayagar Temple Basin,Melborn,Australia

In August 1989, a ‘breakaway’ group from the Hindu Society of Victoria, decided to build a Vinayagar temple.

Amongst this group, a core team of people set up the ‘Pro Tem’ Management Committee and along with other likeminded individuals, began the gigantic task of building the first Vinayagar temple – Sri Vakratunda Vinayagar Temple – in Victoria.

Nestled at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, Peace & Calm Nature Foothills is a true gem that radiates positive vibes. The rich South Indian architecture and traditional atmosphere immediately envelop you in serenity. As you explore the space, you’ll encounter beautifully crafted idols that enhance the tranquil ambiance, creating a perfect backdrop for reflection and peace.

The venue hosts special poojas, Homams, and Archanais on all Hindu festivals and spiritual days, making it a vibrant hub for community celebration. The facilities are impressive, featuring spacious parking and well-arranged indoor dining canteens, along with halls perfect for small functions. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating such a welcoming environment.

Sri Vakrathunda Vinayagar Temple is a serene and culturally rich sanctuary, offering a tranquil atmosphere for spiritual reflection and devotion to Lord Vinayagar. The temple’s ornate architecture and peaceful ambiance provide solace to visitors seeking spiritual connection.
