Tampa Hindu Temple
Tampa Hindu Temple
The Hindu Temple of Florida (Tampa) was established in
December 1983. A group of motivated individuals, who had made Tampa Bay their
home, felt the need for a place of worship and practice of Sanatana dharma in
their adopted land.
They
came together and established the not for profit corporation and started
raising funds for the land and later construction of the Temple. The land was
purchased at the present site in 1989. The land came with an old house and was
used as the initial Temple “Balalaya”. With further fund raising and the
interest in the community, the temple construction was started in 1994 and
completed in 1996 and the Maha Kumbabhishekam was performed in the same year.
The Indianization of the temple started in the year 2000.
The Vimala gopuram
for all the deities and the main Raja gopuram were completed in 2006. The
Temple canteen “Prasada Sadana” was started in 2000 and the new building was
completed in 2013 on the day of Shivaratri.
Currently the temple is in the process of completing the new
shrines for parivara devathas and prathishtapana is planned for 2015.
