Reviews

“I have been attending this mandir for over 7 years now. I used to be like clockwork, every Sunday I would attend but my attendance has dropped off over the years. I still attend regularly. I have seen the mandir move from its small shed dwelling into the magnificent white temple it is now.
I am so thankful that I live near a temple dedicated to Ma.”
