Also worth knowing

Most American temples are run by a non-profit society and open in two sessions, morning and evening, with a break at midday; weekend hours are longer, and festival days change them. Outside New York City the large temples are on suburban campuses with their own parking, so a car is the practical way to reach Akshardham, Lemont, Lanham, Lilburn, Irving or Stafford. Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November 2026, and most temples and gurdwaras list special programmes on or around that date.

Shoes come off at every temple and gurdwara. Gurdwaras are open to everyone, expect heads to be covered and serve langar, the free vegetarian meal, after the Sunday diwan; the Fremont and San Jose gurdwaras also run Khalsa Schools for children. Several temples publish dress and conduct rules: the BAPS mandirs, Akshardham included, ask visitors to cover shoulders and knees, seat men and women separately and allow no food or alcohol inside, and the Sringeri temple in Milpitas asks for Indian attire, no shorts and no photography inside.

In October 2026 a man was charged over an alleged plot against a Hindu temple near Aurora, Illinois, and the Sikh Religious Society of Chicago posted a safety notice. Some places of worship have moved to controlled access: allow time at the door, and check each place’s own site before you go.

For a house puja, a naming ceremony or a wedding, the temples are the practical route to a pandit: the Murugan Temple in Lanham, Shri Krishna Vrundavana in Edison, the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater, Samarpan in Bensalem, and the Sunnyvale, Fremont, Plano, Frisco, Bothell and San Jose temples all list priest or puja services on their sites.

Festival days bring crowds. India’s Consulate General in San Francisco reported more than 20,000 people at the BAPS Diwali Annakut in Milpitas in 2022, the DFW Hindu Temple Society lists a Diwali 2026 event on 8 November, and Yuba City’s nagar kirtan is on the first weekend of November.

Not listed: Richmond Hill and Jamaica in Queens have several small Indo-Caribbean mandirs β€” the Shri Surya Narayan Mandir, the Shri Shakti Mariammaa Temple and the Shree Maha Kali Temple are on the Consulate General of India’s New York temple map β€” but we could not re-confirm their current addresses, and the same map still shows Samarpan at its old Philadelphia address, so confirm any directory address before you travel. Also left out: the Bharatiya Temple in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, whose website is no longer live; Atlanta’s smaller mandirs in Smyrna, Lake City, Newnan and Norcross, for which we found no street address. We found no free-standing Jain temple in the Washington, Philadelphia or Seattle areas; the Rajdhani Mandir in Chantilly has Jain shrines beside its Hindu ones.
