Hindu Temple of Atlanta

I was traveling through and decided to stop by. Beautiful place, extremely friendly staff. Amazing to see so much culture here. Thank you!

The «not recommended» review is quite complimentary about the yoga offered at the temple. I don’t know what Unilocal!Was thinking when it said this review wasn’t «recommended.» Did an algorithm not fit the review?

Amazing and Beautiful Temple. I cannot say more. God knows… God should write i guess:))))) This was the first temple I
landed in United States it was during May 16 1996…
They took me on the same time to Kumbhabhishekam and doing volunteer work– amazing
I was there during the Kumbabhishekam and again during 2001 Brahamotsavam where i took Swami Nithyananda Giri every day —
it was so great
Now on April 25^th was on the way to Orlando, florida from Ohio (piqua, ohio) and i did go to temple on
April 26 2015 –and had a great darshan. How amazing has grown.
I had a great lunch also i purchased for it.
The temple has grown so much –it is amazing and so beautiful. Now they have for Lord Vishnu separate and Lord Shiva
separate.
I cannot say more words… It has grown so huge and big. People love it. I do have pictures posted in FB.
Thanks again
Sri

My Indian/​Hindu fiancé and I were so very disappointed in this temple. We wanted a simple Tamil ceremony to be held at my parents’s home so we called to get information. Someone called us and gave us personal numbers to two Tamil-​speaking priests which we subsequently called. The one that called us back first spent at least half an hour on the phone with us and we went through the list of supplies he would bring and what we needed to provide along with a donation amount of $ 300 to the temple and a suggestion of $ 200 to him. We were fine with this, but wanted to meet him in person prior to the day especially since this was all new to me.
When we went to the temple only 3 days later, after we were pulled away from prayers to move a platform for them (!), that same priest completely changed his story! Turns out he couldn’t drive, the charge for a wedding outside the temple was DOUBLE, he couldn’t speak English, and he didn’t want to marry us on the day we agreed on previously. All of these were things he told us he could do on the phone.
On top of all this, another priest tried to help us and then proceeded to yell at the secretary guy up front who threw his notebooks on the desk and stomped around in a child-​like tantrum!
Realizing the temple functions with a very different cultural background, however this temple is serving a major American metropolitan area. This type of service will never gain them business. We left saying, «What a waste! We didn’t even get to pray properly!»

Obviously it will be religious if I write about the temple and rituals which I don’t wanna mention here. All are welcome here I believe and if you are looking for specific South Indian dishes. This is the place in whole town. Even some of the big restaurants wont able to match the taste here. Amazing food as all items are homemade and cooked by volunteers. its totally yummy and worth it if you love South Indian dishes. I would say the atmosphere is Blissful. Definitely should try the temple food once. Totally worth it !!!

This is the temple T and I frequent. It’s beautiful, peaceful, and the staff there are very welcoming. One of our favorite things about this temple? The temple kitchen. You will not be disappointed.
