It's very beautiful to see in person and is worth a visit at least once! If you are not familiar with Indian culture, please pay attention to the signs posted in the area so that you can be respectful while visiting. NO SHOES can be worn near the statue as it's considered disrespectful and unclean to wear shoes near god/in temples. Please be mindful of this and leave your shoes in the dedicated shoe storage area before stepping up close and personal to the statue. Also, be mindful of those who may be offering prayers while walking around the statue of Hanuman. Keep your voices low and refrain from using profanity with others in close proximity.

We have been associated with Chinmaya Mission for years. Our daughters attended the Bala Vihar…read moreclasses. Today, one is married and the other is a senior at UTA. We worship at Sivakasi temple every Monday. Yesterday we took our milk and bananas offerings to the temple. The priest, Ganesh, knows us and expects us on Mondays. Sometimes, my wife's schedule does not let us go on Monday but when I can, I go the following day. One thing I must mention is that over the years my health has had me use a walking cane and stairs have become quite hard to climb. I use the little elevator if I can but sometimes request Ganesh to come to the car and take the offerings since the distance to the elevator from the parking lot becomes fatigue inducing. On those bad days, Ganesh helps out for which we are ever grateful.

I connected with this temple a few years ago when I was going through health issues and offered the Navagraha Homa.

They did had prasadam when we visited but not sure if they keep everyday. Long list of pooja and offerings you can do. Even temple donation list was mentioned which goes max upto $15000. I wonder if they need so much money even for the renovation or new build but that how it is. Follow their rules strictly. They are very serious about that. I had mobile in selfie sticks in my hand which was closed but still they repeatedly keep telling me about no photography policy. Lady couldn't even understand that mobile is off and told me about all time surveillance. It was little rude for sure.
