Shiva-Vishnu temple, California, US.

The Shiva-Vishnu Temple has evolved into a permanent feature of the Northern California landscape, promoting Hindu religion and culture and providing a sanctum for human beings of all creeds. The Temple is a shining example of what a community could accomplish collectively in order to sustain its religious and cultural roots.


During 1994-1999, the number of devotees visiting the Temple increased dramatically, averaging nearly 1,000 families a month. On some occasions (e.g., New Years’ Day and Ganesha Chathurthi), more than 10,000 people visit the Temple. It was clear that in order to keep up with the exponential growth and improve the quality of its services, the HCCC sorely needed more space.
