Flower Mound is a small suburb of about 62000 people, located about 20 miles north of Dallas. It is a fairly new area where a handful of Indians are moving into after buying residential houses. The nearest Hindu temple is about 20 miles away in Irving, TX. There are about 500 Hindu families living in the flower mound greater area including Lewisville and Denton. A need for a temple close by has always been in the minds of people in social gatherings like Holi and Diwali.
A small group of Indian families got together discussing the Idea of a Hindu temple closer to home during April 2009, and we are happy to inform you that the “vision” is now a “reality”.
With continued support from our community, we moved forward with the plans to start the temple in August 2009 at 3325 Long Prairie Road, Flower Mound, TX 75022 (Besides Tarakari Indian Grocery). Phase-1 deities included Lord Ganesh and Durga Ma. Phase-2 included Lord Siva Linga & Nandi and Lord Balaji. Shiridi Sai Baba deity Prana Pratishta was performed on 8/22/2010. During Phase 4, Lord Kartikeya, Nava Graha and Hanuman Ji are planned.
Several special events celebrated by community since then.
We are looking for donations to help us establish and sustain the temple activities. To make contributions, you can contact any one of the founding members found on “Contact Us” link, or make payments online by going to "Donations" link, or submit your contributions in any one of the participating stores (for example, Tarakari).
In addition, we encourage you to subscribe to our mailing list in your interested areas to volunteer in temple activities or to receive newsletters, a link is available on Home page under email subscription section.
