A beautiful and peaceful place to visit. If you would like to learn about Hindu spirituality, this is a great experience. The guided tour lasts about 1-2 hours, and the guide also explains the temple's construction history. After the tour, you can enjoy authentic Indian food at the restaurant and even stop by the small shop for souvenirs. Highly recommended.

This was an incredible visit to the temple. The entire grounds and the temple itself feature stunning architecture, and the atmosphere feels incredibly peaceful and uplifting. I truly enjoyed my time here and look forward to returning for a guided tour. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful temple and an amazing experience. I was awed by the stunning architecture and incredible detail of their carvings. Went the day after Thanksgiving with 4pm reservations, stayed almost 4 hours and attended the 7pm night time arti prayer. It was simply enchanting and humbling to get a glimpse of another culture and be allowed to participate regardless of your beliefs. The acoustics inside were magical with the the chanting and singing. I'm neither religious nor spiritual but felt the emotional pull of the whole experience. There are a few theaters inside that explain the history and how the temple was built. There is a cafeteria and food are reasonably priced. Family friendly too. There's even a nursing pod. Everything is well kept and very clean. Can't believe this exists in NJ! Highly recommend going towards late afternoon into the sunset hours and attend the night time prayer!
