Bharatiya Hindu Temple
The Bharatiya Hindu Temple is a sacred space that reflects Hinduism's religious and spiritual traditions. Located in the heart of Powell, the temple is open to all who wish to worship and celebrate their faith. It offers various services and programs that promote Hindu culture and traditions. Visitors to the temple can participate in puja (worship) ceremonies, attend yoga and meditation classes, and participate in festivals and celebrations. The site also has a library with books on Hinduism and an art gallery with paintings of Hindu deities.
The organization's mission is to promote Hinduism, educate the community about Hindu principles, and celebrate Indian culture. To further its mission, it established an educational committee, "Gurukul School of Hindu Dharma and Sanskriti 'to provide religious instruction to children and adults. Besides offering Hinduism classes, the Gurukul School also hosts cultural events such as dance performances and festivals.
Each year, the temple's youth volunteers engage in a variety of projects to help those in need. In recent years, they have worked with the local school district to collect supplies for students who are homeless or living in poverty. They have also partnered with a local soup kitchen to provide meals for the needy. They also provide a variety of services, including a clinic and summer camps. The clinic gives medical and mental health services to the community. At the same time, the summer camps help to educate children about Hindu culture and values. In addition to these services, the temple also hosts various events throughout the year, such as festivals and performances.
This place is also a two-story building that houses multipurpose rooms for education, a library, and conferences. The temple's ground floor is devoted to education, and the upper floor houses the library and conference room. The education rooms are used for classes on Hinduism and Indian culture, and the library contains a collection of Hindu scriptures. The conference room is used for meetings of the temple Board of Trustees. They also have a kitchen and a retail store. The kitchen is used to prepare meals for special occasions, and the retail store sells Hindu books, music, and clothing. The Bharatiya Hindu Temple is a source of support for Hindus living in the United States. It provides a community for those who might otherwise feel isolated.
