History
In 1989, a group of practicing Hindus in areas surrounding New Jersey established the Hindu Temple and Cultural Society of USA Inc. (HTCS).[4] In February 1992, the HTCS purchased land in Bridgewater, New Jersey in hopes of building a traditional stone temple.[3][4] Devotees began engaging in regularly scheduled spiritual activities and worship in the building previously built on the purchased land, as the planning for a new temple continued.[3] In 1995, the ground breaking ceremony of the new temple was performed.[3] In May 1996, a stone laying ceremony was conducted by Chinna Jeeyar Swami and the temple construction began according to the Vastu Shastras.[3][4] In 1998, consecration ceremony was conducted by Chinna Jeeyar Swami and other priests and the temple was inaugurated.[3]
In 2019, the Bridgewater zoning board approved the temples plan for expanding facilities.[5]
