I'm not a Hindu, but my friend (who doesn't drive) is, and I often take him. I understand very little about the faith, but from my observations, and from chats with my friend, this place looks like it embodies all the virtues you'd want in a temple. It's clean and spacious, and the statues and other imagery are all meticulous in their design, colour, and adornment. One of the members of the Temple Committee, with whom I had a brief chat one time, said that it had "no negativity" and this seems to be true. It's also very popular with families, with people from babies to the elderly all there. And the musicians are terrific, powering away tirelessly on nadeswaram and thavil. There seems to be a real community here.

We both of us like the canteen (I might not be a Hindu, but I can eat like one!) and given that it is run entirely by volunteers, the food is delicious: their dosai and sambar are worth...

Dear sir, temple staff harassing devotees to remove cap when praying. Been to many countries and visited temples, no such practices in any of the Hindu temples. If it's the practice here, at least put up sign to remove headress before entering temple. In temples, Sikhs and even priest wear a Thalapa. Have look through the last few days on various books and Google, there is not one place is stated as devotees are not allowed to wear cap or headress in temple. One of the committee was was rude to to say, " I don't deserve to be in the temple". He later apologize to me for the inappropriate comments. My peace in the temple was totally affected by the incident. Very bad experience. Attach is the photo...
