A rich spiritual life has perhaps countless benefits; peace of mind, body, and soul; connection with those of similar religious outlooks yet the ability to exchange and realize new ideas and insights; strengthened family relationships; a heightened sense of consciousness; the list goes on and on. For the Hindu faith in particular, the advantages of formal worship within an established community are invaluable, and this is especially true in the case of those who relocate their families abroad, where cultural and traditional differences can sometimes seem daunting and wear on the spirit. As such, finding a Hindu temple that speaks to the traditions and spiritual values of you and your family is an extremely important step in starting --or continuing-- your life's adventure. Hindu adherents in the United States can rely upon the devotion of the nation's Desi population to provide scores of Hindu temples suitable for worship of all styles and sensibilities; in nearly every major city from coast to coast, a variety of worship venues is sure to be found. Cincinnati is no exception, and is home to many temples representative of all regional and historic Hindu modes of spiritual practice. Among the offerings, the Hindu Temple of Cincinnati stands out; this guide will introduce you to the temple so you can explore its benefits without having to leave your doorstep.


Close to Interstate 275 on Klatte Road, the temple manages to stray just enough from the urban blocks of the inner city to offer a sense of escape and closeness to nature. Situated on a few hundred acres of gently rolling, grassy land, the temple is comprised of a building with modern architecture with old Indian elements; squared structures meet with minarets and towers topped with golden domes to produce a treat for the eyes. Inside, intelligent use of natural sunlight and ambient light sources throughout help to create a calming and appropriate atmosphere, along with the aesthetically pleasant carpeting, wall decor, and of course the deity shrines, statues, and other accoutrements. But while the temple is visually inviting, it is the community and its many opportunities for involvement that truly shine.



The temple offers regulars services and poojas, and is rich in educational and physical classes for everything from scripture interpretation to intermediate yoga; frequent lunches and other culinary events abound, as to seminars on hand-picked texts and talks from visiting religious figures and scholars. Community outreach programs are well-attended and help to integrate the temple and its congregants with the local Cincinnati community at large. Community outings to special events of Desi interest such as musical and dramatic shows, museum galleries, and more encourage social development. And children and the elderly can find special focus groups and activities throughout the year.
