Temple History & Objectives

In 2008, a small group of Indian families got together to discuss the idea of a Hindu temple closer to home and with continued support from our community, have established Flower Mound Hindu temple in August 2009 at 3325 Long Prairie Road, Flower Mound, TX 75022 (besides Tarakari Indian Grocery). Lord Ganesh and Durga Ma were the deities originally part of the temple and subsequently Lord Siva & Nandi as well as Lord Balaji were enshrined. Prana Pratishta for Shiridi Sai Baba was performed on 22nd, August, 2010. Ever since, Flower Mound Hindu temple has continue to offer various religious classes and Language classes at Temple premises and celebrate various festivals and special events that have significance in Hinduism.

The main objectives of Flower Mound Hindu Temple are

Need For New Temple

A small group of likeminded families who follow Sanatana Dharma got together to discuss the idea
of a Hindu place of worship and celebrating events closer to home in early 2009. With the strong
support from our community, the idea to start the temple at 3325 Long Prairie Road, Flower
Mound, TX 75022 was set in motion around August 2009. 

For the past 8+ years Flower Mound Hindu Temple has been celebrating all important religious
events, also offering religious and language (Hindi, Tamil & Telugu) classes at temple premises.
In the last 3 to 4 years there has been a significant growth in the population of Sanatana Dharma
followers in Flower Mound and surrounding areas. Due to this, our current facility proved
inadequate during all major events. Also, there were quite a few requests from the community for
yoga classes, religious seminars, senior center activities etc. To accommodate growing needs, a
new permanent temple building is much needed.
