Greater Cleveland Shiva Vishnu Temple — Attraction in Parma

I have been to this temple many times in last 5 years. Temple location and temple inside is very beautiful. I am sorry but i am very dissapointed on my last two visits on the occasion of Maha Shiv Ratri and Navaratra. I visited last three years during Shivaratri. Everytime i see lot of rush. But temple managment are not learning/prepared how to handle the crowd. There is lot parking available back side of temple. There was no snow 2-3 days before this year Shiva Ratri. They should at least clear the snow to accomode more cars back side.After more than 30 mins stuck in traffic finally able to park my car backside of the temple. Surprisingly there were lot of parking still available. Problem was while returning. Many cars were not able go up due to skiddind on the ice. .

But request you to please utilize the money proper way so more devotees will offer...

The temple was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. The many honored Deities therein were amazing in appearance, and clearly treated with the utmost respect and care. The people were very kind, patient, and helpful to an outsider who'd never been there before. Priests offering instruction did so in a way that made it clear what was occurring and how the devotees were meant to participate. I would be extremely proud to call this my home temple, and were I one of the Deities honoured during their pujas, I would be thoroughly pleased with the offerings and passionate songs...
