One of the oldest temples in the Bay Area, dedicated to Lord Muruga. Spiritual and Divine Experience, when visiting. The garba gruha or main deity is decorated and adorned with flowers and jewelry on special occasions. The Annual Thai Poosam Walk is becoming popular in recent years thanks to the large Indian community presence in the Bay Area. Devotees walk 20 miles or 8 miles (from San Ramon / Walnut Creek) on Thai Poosam (Murugan's Birth Star) Day. Temple Administration and Volunteers are doing an awesome job during this annual pilgrimage. Concord Muruganukku Arogara. 🙏🙏🙏.
We have been here before and came to visit again with a group of devotees from Salinas Monterey. The temple staff and volunteers were very accommodating with hosting us to visit. They provided us with ample time for Darshan and Prasadam, followed with Tea and Coffee before our departure. Was very pleased to see the expansion of the Temple premises since our last visit 4 years ago. So proud of my Indian heritage, Gujarati Community and Tamil upbringing. Shiva Murugan Temple Arohara.
Very clean and accessible temple. Priests are very knowledgeable in many different pooja & rituals. On weekends they do offer free lunch to the visitors. Plenty street parking available.
Very nice Hindu temple. It also has Ganapathi, Shiva, navagraha and amman shrines. Poojas are performed on specific timings everyday. Special poojas are also performed during auspicious days. Parking is limited in road and you may have to park and walk to temple. New temple construction is in progress adjacent to current temple. #omnamashivaya #happymotoring
The temple has been under construction for more than a year. The current establishment was small it's not too crowded for the Diwali celebration. It was peaceful
Peaceful temple. Wonderful to visit for peace and tranquility.
A new traditional Temple being built right now, will be a must see and must visit place once finished. Open 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekends
1st time visit. Calm & Peaceful. Tamil Slogams were sung during Pooja. Divine to hear.
Hoping to finish the new building soon 🙏🙏
Some devotees were distributing veg-fruits from their garden (9/17/2022). Happy to see fresh Avarakkai (broad beans) after a long time. Thanks for who brought them
Great Temple! Absolutely nice people in the temple too. You could feel the Divinity as you enter this shrine! ✨
