Sri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple — Attraction in Edina

This is the closest Hindu temple from Mall of America and Saint Paul, MN. It is very clean and well maintained. It hosts idols of Venkateswara (Balaji), Ashta Lakshmi, Ganesha and Satyanarayana. These idols are decorated with beautiful cloths and ornaments in typical South Indian style. There is also a big function hall. Clean toilets are available for use. It's closed during afternoon (2 to 5PM) and after 8PM.

You get lunch for $3 on weekends between 11:30 - 2PM. We had one, it was delicious! Good quantity of white and spicy rices, curry, curd and pickles.

A place I get lot of happiness and satisfaction serving to Sridevi, Godadevi sametha Sri Venkateswara Swami. This Temple follows Bhagawad Ramanuja and his teachings. Also one can visit Maha Siva and Ganesha Temple in the same location. Navagrahas are well kept and one can do pradakshana very peaceful.
