Thanks to one of our relatives who pointed us to this temple. This Hindu temple has deities in the forms worshipped in the eastern part of India - Kolkata.

I'm not sure if this place is handicap-friendly as there are few stairs in order to climb to the ground level.

​My family and I recently relocated to the East Coast from California, where we were accustomed to…read morethe peaceful and welcoming environment of the Malibu Temple. We visited the Bridgewater Temple hoping to create a similar, meaningful devotional memory with family friends who were visiting from out of state. Unfortunately, our visit turned into a deeply distressing and dark experience that stood in stark contrast to everything we have come to expect from Hindu temples in the USA. ​Following the alankaram service, we remained quietly in a corner of the main temple area while waiting for a family member to return from the parking lot. We were mindful of our children, ensuring they remained quiet and respectful of the sanctity of the space. We were speaking softly among ourselves, making a conscious effort not to disturb others. ​Despite our quiet demeanor, a volunteer approached us in an aggressive manner, forcefully placing a "silence" placard into the hands of one of the women in our group. He then proceeded to humiliate her publicly, refusing to listen to our apologies or accept that we were already being respectful. To our shock, a senior priest emerged and, rather than de-escalating the situation, chose to encourage this volunteer's aggressive behavior. ​We immediately removed ourselves from the premises, but we left feeling deeply hurt. As followers of Sanatan Dharma, we have always been taught that temples are places of peace, inclusivity, and dignity. There is no justification for the public humiliation of a woman or such a blatant display of disrespect. This entire situation could have been handled with basic human decency and a polite request, which we would have happily honored. ​We are incredibly saddened that our search for a place of worship on the East Coast began with such an unkind experience. We hope the leadership of this temple takes a moment to reflect on how their volunteers and staff treat devotees. True devotion should be reflected in how we treat one another.
