Murugan Temple — Attraction in Berlin

Among a few Hindu temples in Berlin, this is one of the prominent ones. The temple is called Sri Mayurapathy Murugan temple. It is located in Blaschkoallee which is serviced by U Bahn Line U7. There is also bus route 170 which runs here. The temple has many Hindu deities within the main temple. Deities present are Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Naga Devatha, Bhairava, Mayurapathy Murugan and Shani. There is also Vasantha Mandapam and some other deities. You will also find a Navagraha. The temple is mainly run by Sri Lankan Tamil community. The main language of communication is Tamil, of course, many of them speak German and also English. Architecturally, the temple is very well built and looks just like another temple from the Tamil regions of the Indian subcontinent. The temple is also managed and maintained very well. There are a lot of specific pujas (rituals) performed here on payment basis for your personal satisfaction. There is also a Sankashta Chathurthi puja held on a monthly basis. The temple is open in the mornings between 7 and 12 and later in the afternoon at 4 until 7:30. I personally felt satisfied with the rituals performed. There is an annual temple festival held between August and September. May Lord Murugan...

It's home away from home! Atleast that's how I felt today after visiting this temple. It's my birthday today and I wanted visit temple as I have done every year since I can remember. Surprisingly there was a Pooja going on and it was amazing to watch and hear the mantras chant. The best was saved for the last. They gave sambar rice as prasadam, I felt so thankful to have had this. It was so tasty and fulfilling than any other birthday cake cutting that I've done over the past years. Thankful for this place. As I said.. home...

Good place of worship in Berlin. Like any other temple in India, they have a proper gopuram (ornate tower usually at the entrance). It was well maintained and had a calm and peaceful atmosphere. If you are new to Berlin, this is definitely worth a visit. If you live here, it can be your regular place...
