Our Story



It has been a long-cherished dream for the Bay Area Hindu community to establish a Guruvayoorappan – Ayyappan Temple right here in our midst. With divine blessings and the encouraging support of the community, the foundational steps are now underway. We warmly invite you to join us on this meaningful and sacred journey. Stay informed, engage in the conversations, and become an integral part of this divine initiative. This endeavor goes beyond just building a temple — it is about creating a vibrant, living space for spiritual growth, cultural enrichment, community service, and collective harmony.
