TEMPLE NEWS:
The Hindu Temple Of Hampton Roads organizes several events at the Temple, the success of which is largely dependent on the active participation of our community members. The Satyanarayana Puja that was held on January 1st was a huge success as was evident by the presence of about 300 community members. We intend to continue this puja in coming years.
We wanted to hold the Republic Day event on January 28, 2012. However we received very few commitments from community members to attend this event. These events normally require a certain amount of financial commitment from the Temple. Notwithstanding the financial aspect, our intention is to hold events that matter the most to our community members. However holding an event with hardly any attendees is obviously not practical. So the Temple Executive Committee decided not to hold the event for this year and instead will focus on holding other future events.
Should a sizable number of community members demonstrate their interest in attending the Republic Day event, we will be happy to hold it in February. Please get in touch with any member of the Executive Committee to express your interest.

Namaste. Welcome to Hindu Temple of Hampton Roads web site. The Hindu community of Hampton Roads can be really proud of completing 24,000 square feet of Temple Complex on 10 acres of waterfront land. It is indeed rare for a small community consisting of some 500 families to accomplish such a feat. The Hindu religion is not simply a religion of rituals, since it integrates culture and religion into our daily lives and our Temple Complex will provide a focal point for the religious as well as the cultural activities of our community.
