Grand Rapids area's First Hindu Temple
Grand Rapids area's First Hindu Temple is all set to open on June 13th, 2008. Check out Western Michigan Hindu Temple website for more details.
This is great news for Indians in the Grand Rapids Area because before they had to travel to either Kalamazoo, Lansing, Chicago or Detroit to visit a Hindu Temple. From mlive.com
A group of about a dozen Indians decided in 2002 to build a temple and put in seed money. Two years later, they bought 5.7 acres at 4870 Whitneyville Ave. SE and announced plans for an 8,000-square-foot temple.Here's a Bird's eye view from maps.live.com of the Temple Construction Site.
Construction began last year on the building set into a wooded hillside. About $750,000 of its $1 million cost has been met through donations. Backers are prepared to take out a loan for the rest, said board treasurer Sridhar Sundaram.
