Default Indian Mandirs(Temples) outside India

Hello Friends!

I came to US one year ago.As My husband is in consultancy.So we moved a lot for different different projects.In every new trip I visits temple for sure.

I saw many beautiful temples in US States but was yet to see the best of all the Sai Baba temples in the USA.

I found such temple finally at the city of Plano,Texas during our recent visit there. This temple is situated at 2109 W. Parker Road, Suite-212, Plano, Texas- 75023. This temple is extremely popular amongst Indians in Dallas and Fort Worth area.

This temple was started in the year 2001 through the donations collected from all the people, mainly Indians. The temple has been developed nicely since it's starting .

The main Sai Baba temple is situated at Shirdi in Maharashtra State in India. Sai Baba temples have been made all over the world during the last decade and the Indians staying in the USA in Texas area made this temple at Plano. This temple is having a vast area of around 5000 square feet and is fully air-conditioned. The temple opens at 7am in the morning for Arti.

Default Indian Mandirs(Temples) outside India

Hi All,

Last month I was in Chicago for project.There I visited Temples.Nevertheless, it was a very interesting experience.I learned a ton from the visit, and the architecture was breathtaking.If you're setting up a tour, plan on spending about 2 hours at the temple,following will be your great choice.

1) Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago, located in Lemont, Ill., approximately 25 miles
southwest of Chicago.

2) Swami Narayan Temple ,located in South 631 Milton Ave P.O. BOX 2081 Glen
Ellyn, IL 60138.It is a very beautiful Mandir.It is a branch of famous AksharDhaam
Temple in Delhi,India

3) Swami Vivekananda Society, situated5423 S. Hyde Park Blvd. Chicago, IL 60615.


There are many temples in Chicago.I visited above three.If anyone know about others then share it.

Hi mrignayni,
I live in dallas,Texas. i visit saibaba temple which is in plano. usually i will go to temple on weekends, only once i went on thursday evening. the temple is filled with full of devotees and some will bring prasadam and food and it will take few hours especially on thursday evening but still you do not want to leave the temple soon. believe me, its very peaceful.
after i got pregnant i did not get chance to go to temple, bcoz its almost 30 min to 45 min drive from my home. but recently i went there and there people reading sai charithra. It makes us very peaceful once you go in there.....

When i came to USA, i was very happy to see saibaba temple which is nearer to my home.
Om sai ram.

Thank you so much for posting this. I lived in Trinidad for 6 years and the amount of devotion that the locals had and the love and respect for Indian culture and traditions was just mind-boggling!
