There is perhaps no greater concern for the religious Hindu community developing their families outside of South Asia than the attainment of a meaningful and supporting local spiritual family. While newly established immigrants and naturalized families with new generations alike are bound to find veritable mountains of quality Desi establishments such as restaurants, grocery stores, private tutors, and travel agents throughout the United States, locating a suitable place for worship can be a bit trickier. One must consider the mission of a spiritual community as well as its background; whether it is geared towards the individual or towards families; how it interacts with the local community at large, and of course whether it speaks to one's own devotional preferences and beliefs. Given the strength and integrity of the Desi population in the United States, most Hindu faithful are sure to find the right temple for their spiritual lives through careful consideration, and those in Atlanta are particularly blessed. The city boasts an especially warm and inviting Hindu temple, where devotees from all walks of life can find spiritual facets that speak to their particular traditions and desires for community involvement. The Ambaji USA Shakti Mandir in Atlanta is a great starting point for your Atlanta Hindu spiritual journey, and will likely serve as your spiritual home for many years to come.


The Shakti Mandir is situated in Morrow on Huie Road, making it easily accessible from all of metropolitan Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs. Visitors will appreciate the incorporation of traditional Indian temple architecture with modern construction practices, resulting in a series of structures that are humble and dignified yet speak to the beauty and devotion of traditional religious craftsmanship. Ample space for worship and many small meeting, administration, and dining rooms are representative of authentic temple atmosphere, and provide a quiet yet vibrant ambience for worship. But the treasures of the Shakti Mandir go well beyond its physical manifestation; the heart of the temple is its active and well-established community. Founded on a mission to serve the Atlanta area's Hindu population and provide outreach and education to all community members, the temple is sincerely dedicated to enriching the spiritual lives of all who enter its doors.



Regular daily pujas and scheduled services are open to all, while frequent discussion groups, yoga classes, meditation sessions, and other relaxing and beneficial communal events help supplement traditional worship. Special groups and events for children and elders ensure that all generations are incorporated into the community and given a meaningful voice. Truly effective community outreach programs such as vegetarian feasts for the local homeless populations and health drives supported by local Desi doctors give congregants a sense of social well-being and empowerment. For all facets of spiritual life, the Shakti Mandir stands as Atlanta's testament to what can be accomplished with the hearts and minds of many worshippers. Become a part of something divine and explore this Atlanta Desi treasure.
