Description

Sri Ganesha temple was designed by Sri Muthiah Sthapathi, and resembles the temple architecture of Chola dynasty (900AD -1150AD). The ground breaking ceremony of the main temple complex, or phase 2, took place in November 1989, and the basic construction was completed in September 1990. We were blessed to find a rock large enough to build all 3 sanctums, and provide stability for many generations to come. Ten shilpis from India worked for over 2 years to complete Indianization of the temple with delicate ornamental work.

As some of the new immigrants to Nashville realized that they were not returning to mother India, they began to think about the need for a strong religious and cultural center that would promote our rich heritage, and expose our children to Hindu Culture. These immigrants had several informal meetings between 1978 and 1979, and ultimately formed a committee in 1980. "Hindu Cultural Center of Tennessee" was chosen by the majority, and it was incorporated in October 1980 in the state of Tennessee.
