Historical Review Excerpts
Review snippets came from the source workbook and may reflect public reviews available around 2018.
Google Temple is very calm and peaceful. Feels like meditative place for me personally. Serene is the word I must say to describe the temple atmosphere. Priests are very good in nature, took personal time to explain about Tirumala Balaji and the Lord Balaji in the temple, the pooja process and all. Spoke not a word more than required. Very good information they share. Donations are almost collected, like 85% is done collecting and the temple plan is a replica of Tirumala Tirupathi Balaji temple. Excellent place of worship for all the Somerset nearby public.5 Stars
Google Very nice and peaceful atmosphere.Things organised well.Good darshan and nice to see our Indian Iyengars in traditional way.Super.5 Stars
Google Upcoming temple with a temporary worship hall. Plans afoot to build a larger temple in the property as a replica of tirupati Balaji temple albeit with smaller dimensions. 80% of the funds raised for building bigger temple. Very nice priests and active management by octagenerian Mr. Poondi Vijayaraghavan and blessed by India based srimath andavan ashramam pontiff. Modest priest quarters at the front of the property. Regular, noticeable improvements to the property steadily being made. Committed band of volunteers organize functions like concerts and festival celebrations regularly. Hindu community use it as a major spiritual sanctuary and retreat !5 Stars
