The only temple closest to Ames and my favorite :) Well-maintained with good ambience and courteous temple folks. You gotta try their canteen food. So affordable and tastes like home-made food :) Has ample parking spots and swings for kids. Very friendly atmosphere. read more

We were driving along highway 17 when we saw this Hindu Temple. It was gorgeous. A lot of statues on the building itself and around the surrounding area. There is a large parking lot adjacent to the temple. We did not go inside but it looked like it was open to the public and special ceremonies are held here. There were people dressed in traditional Indian clothes that looked like they were there to attend an event. I think it is required to remove shoes before entering the building because I saw a sign that said to place shoes on shoe racks.
