SV Lotus Temple

Bollywood Night at the Lotus Temple ✨ Such a beautiful and authentic experience! The music, the atmosphere, the culture — everything felt so special and different in the best way. I truly enjoy learning about another religion and embracing traditions from a different country. It’s amazing how music can bring everyone together and connect hearts beyond language and borders. Grateful for moments like this.

We visit this temple very often. The original lotus 🪷 plan of the temple was unique. But now the new plan is in place. The designs look appealing and traditional with gopurams.. eager to see the changes soon. The last time we visited it was Shivarathri.. and the pictures here are from the pooja they did all night. It vibe was good. Lot of people. Nice dharshan. Fyi.. the main temple is closed for construction now. The deities are in the basement floor temporarily.

The temple’s still being built, but once it’s done, it’s going to look as beautiful as a lotus. It might take around another year to complete, and there’s a big basement with a cafeteria too.

Very disappointed to write this review as I had great expectations before visiting this temple. The website pictures are very misleading and don't match the reality. The whole facility is a maze and we did not know how to enter the sanctorum. It is not ADA accessible even though there is an elevator and couple wheelchairs. The elevator does not go all the way to the sanctorum and my elderly MIL had to climb a flight of stairs. There was construction going on and everything was so dusty in the general pathway and elevator area. The only good thing about this temple is the Perumal(the Diety) . We attended the Bhoomi puja years ago and donated to the land only to visit after many years and see a temple at this state after all these years. Time for management to wake up.

We have visited this temple multiple times, and it never fails to impress. The deity of Lord Balaji is the most divine in the area, creating a truly calming and peaceful atmosphere. Photography is prohibited. So, you have to visit personally to experience it. The classical music performances held downstairs are incredibly soothing, adding to the temple’s serene ambiance. The food in the cafeteria is outstanding, offering a restaurant-style experience with delicious homemade sweets that are simply epic! Make sure to visit on any day especially weekends to enjoy a delightful treat while receiving powerful blessings and experiencing profound peace.
