Historical Review Excerpts
Review snippets came from the source workbook and may reflect public reviews available around 2018.
Google Every people must visit this temple if they want to feel as if they are in India.very calm n peaceful atmosphere to make their and worship the god.5 Stars
Google Very nice Murugan temple. They have started food court as well.5 Stars
Google Good place to visit for tamilians.5 Stars
Google Temple is very south Indian tamilnadu style, since Murugan is mostly followed by tamilian s. Priests are well experienced. Overall 2017 Kanda sasti was a great experience for the first timer. I will drive 2.5hrs to visit again.its worth my drive.5 Stars
Google Awesome experience.. temple was located in a very peaceful atmosphere5 Stars
Yelp Only Murugan Temple in east coast5 Stars
Yelp i used to go here frequently but not anymore. the temple management has become politicized bringing in home country problems and issues to America. This is America, better leave the old world problems in the old world!5 Stars
