Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago

"The temples are beautiful. Entrance is not allowed wearing shorts. Taking pictures inside the temples is not allowed. They also have a cafeteria inside. When we visited, there was some construction or remodeling going on. We were told it'll be finished in October."

"The temple is dedicated to lord Venkateshwara, Ganapathi, Shriram, Shiva, Durga and many other deities. Large parking spaces. Located in a very large area."

"I loved visiting this temple – the architecture is breathtaking and the campus is beautifully landscaped. The surroundings are calm and serene, making it a perfect place for peace and reflection. Everything is very clean, well maintained, and organized. A must-visit for both spiritual experience and architectural beauty. PS, I was not aware the photography was prohibited, so these are images before I was made aware of that."

"When you want to break away from life tension and want to relax, you need to go to Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago, located in Lemont. You don’t need to be a follower of Hinduism, you just come here and follow your heart, no one will bother you, peace is the game. Then you end with South Indians savory food, reasonable in price, authentic in taste. We ordered Dosa and Idli that comes with chutney. Love the place and come here quite often."

"On a visit from India, on a Vaikunta Ekadashi, it was a wish-fulfilled to have a Darshan of Vishnu and Paramapada Dwar. It happened to be the birth day of my spouse too, being a Bharani born in Dhanur month. Beautiful Ramaswamy Temple on one side and Shiva Temple (called Durga & Ganapathi Temples) make the complex ideal for Saiva- Vaishnava concept. Vishnu in Ranganatha form with consorts Bhooma and Neela is the format on this day in Tirunelveli District temples. Rama parivar and Anjaneya are very inspiring. Various Vahanas for uthsavam, like Garuda, Hanumantha, Adi Sesha, Anna are on display. Shiva Temple contains Shiva, Parvathi, Ganesa, Subrahmanya with consorts, Ayyappan, Navagraha sannadhis. Uthsavamurtgis and Pradhosha murthy on Rishabha are tastefully displayed. Enough parking areas, footwear and over-coats, Prasad counters, elevators, shoe stands, rest rooms with slippers and wash are features of comfort. Very divine. From the displays, one can understand, practice of sanathana principles, important events of festivities are regular activities. Worth visiting for a blissful divine experience."
