Fremont Hindu Temple

in 2015 we organized a program, and we paid money preeti bhoj. Only for our people. But management was too much money minded, they even took money from 2 other groups and manage food with our food. The menu gave to them was totally different. It was a wrose experience for us. I never suggest to for this temple.

Great place to have darshan of all dieties at once. Located at heart of fremont with decent parking space. Offers priest services for all occasions. all 4 Sai aartis are performed every day. Navagrahas and homas are performed with complete austerity. Prasad is served couple of times a week. Would highly recommend. Apty connected with public transport.

The priest gave everyone in my family flowers (The car Pooja I paid for), gave me a dirty look, and picked off one petal (out of the 20 on the flower), and handed it over to me. How rude and obnoxious, when I willingly donated $ 60 to the temple. He is a short man who wears glasses for all I know of him. He rushed the entire Pooja also. I will definitely not be returning. Don’t do a car Pooja in my opinion, just like the previous reviews it was highly rushed.

Best place in Fremont to visit, where all the gods in the same place .all the time I visit this place I feel peaceful and the environment is good.

Apart from the temple and the god, the management isnt fit for the temple, ive been like two times from yesterday to the place and couldnt get me pooja done for my car, giving some or the other explanations for a few minutes of puja, they need to take care of everything in the temple, not only the devotees coming in for darshan. At this time writing the review am still at the temple waiting for priests, am so dissapointed with the way management working.

I visit to this temple on every weekends. I feel close to my family when I visit this temple coz I feel blessed with peace. Its more like offering special pooja and having special darshan.

It’s a nice temple. Well-​equipped. Has most of the Hindu gods. Hosts may volunteer events and free yoga classes and some literature classes for kids over the weekends!

This review is only for the priest Ravikanth who did our Grahapravesha pooja. He did an excellent job. Mantras were recited/​chanted very very clearly and nicely. He did not demand any money.
as far as rest of the temple management goes
I would give «One Star» or «half Star».

I’m a devout hindu and I go to this temple. The Fremont temple is located in a neighborhood with a children’s school in front of it. The hindu community in Fremont is pretty big and unfortunately, this temple is a bit to small for the amount of people that come to worship. The parking lot itself can fit less than 20 cars. Further down the street, you can find additional parking or street parking. During new years, parking is really a hassle and the lines to worship are out the door. The best part of the temple for me would be the shirdi sai baba statue. Outside of the main temple hall, there is a worship room for Bala ji bhagwan, Laxmi mata, Shri Ram and Sita mata. My only other criticism would be the fact that some prasad thats being offered is open and there’s been times where I’ve seen flies and even a roach coming close to it. For food safety, it would be best to keep food that is offered closed. I hope one day the temple can be expanded to fit with the growing community.

I am a regular. Even after moving 25 miles away.

It takes a while before this temple grows on you and lets you like it. First of all when you enter, it seems like it’s just a small hall with a few photos of Gods. Then you notice the large Sai Baba (shirdi) statue on your left. After you finish here, you notice there is a South Indian theme room with Balaji and Shiva. Then there is another outdoor Ganesha room and Navagrahas close by. All in all it seems like a hotch potch of ideas and renovations that happened one after the other as money and volunteers/​devotee attendance improved…
Anyways, a temple is a temple and now this is my temple in Fremont !
Free prasad on Tuesdays after Hanuman Chalisa. Parking can be a nightmare on the street. Please don’t block the neighbors garage entrances — they are all mostly working class white folks that seem curious and tolerant but also mildly irritated when we disregard their parking space and street safety.

We had a Jagrata, genuine efforts and great dinner provided. We love this temple, it serves as a great place for the south Asian Hindu community.

We were very disappointed and had a bad experience with the management and the priest. We have booked to perform annaprasanna for a certain date but they have noted it for a day earlier. They doubled booked a time when they have a scheduled temple pooja during that time. They asked us to wait couple of hours and do the pooja late into the night. We spoke to the office admin first and to the priest when we called in to schedule the pooja. The priest should have informed us that there will be a clash with the scheduled temple pooja. Finally we decided to come back since we did not want to perform the pooja late at night or in a room.

As far as the temple, ambiance, maintenance of the place its very good. I would say ⁵⁄₅.
The priests and management office are money minded is what I feel. ⁰⁄₅. I had a car pooja, they told its $ 21 for the pooja, I had only 20 and a 10, I asked if its fine with 20, they demanded $ 30 because they wanted to charge for the coconut, lemon, etc. Also they did not keep their time, they made me wait for 1 hour for the priest to arrive. And the priest demanded money as a donation to doing the pooja. I paid him another $ 20. Total of $ 50 for car pooja. Very bag experience. Please do not do any car pooja in this temple. I would advice go to concord temple or san jose for car pooja. Keep away from this one (as far as car pooja is concerned)

I checked out the Diwali Festival (Festival of Lights) Sat 10÷22÷11. It’s like their Christmas and the temple has a 2-​day event Sat 10÷22÷11 & Sun 10÷23÷11. Sat it’s open until 8pm, we got there about 3pm and stayed about an hour or so.
They had some food vendors: Pizza & Curry — slices for $ 2, I tried a Veggie one, it was a bit spicy with lots of bell peppers. Sampled the cheese pizza — just ok.
Nivanaah Ice Cream — cup or cone for $ 3 or Kulfi & another one for $ 4/​slice.
Swagat in Milpitas had a table — I’ll try the restaurant one day.
Cultural events were held in the auditorium across the street in the Grimmer Elementary School. Saw 2 dance acts with Indian kids– lots of parents there to watch their kids perform.
Temple — need to take off your shoes & put them in the cubby bins on the Right of the temple outside. Lots of statues of gods & people were praying & ringing a bell. They let me take tons of pictures.
It’s worth checking out at least once if you’re in the area. I need to see the Sunnyvale Temple (this weekend) & Cupertino had an event 10÷8÷11 I missed.
