'We did not have any (temples) on the North Shore, and we wanted to have something in the vicinity for the public so they wouldn't have to worry about traveling far,' Devotee Savi Ram said. Lord Hanuman is known for being a devotee of the god Rama and gives energy and teachings of service. The statue took just under six months to complete. 'The statue comes from one piece of marble,' Ram said.
'It is dual-sided so the whole structure from top to bottom is replicated on both sides.' This allows devotees to see Lord Hanuman as they enter and leave the temple. Ancient rituals to celebrate the opening of the temple will be performed starting Friday and continue through Sunday. Hindu priests will recite prayers and install India-carved Hindu deities on altars in the temple. The public is welcome to attend the mandir's ribbon cutting, scheduled for 1 p.m.
After the ribbon cutting, the public will be able to go into the mandir and serve a bit of offerings, Prasad, to the deities. 'The temple was made for people to visit and be exposed to service, humanity and religion and to learn more about Indian culture,' Ram said. The temple will not keep regular hours after the grand opening until construction is complete.
Meanwhile, distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, commended efforts of temple leaders and area community for realizing this Hindu temple complex. Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that it was important to pass on Hindu spirituality, concepts and traditions to coming generations amidst so many distractions in the consumerist society and hoped that this new temple would help in this direction.

Zed stressed that instead of running after materialism; we should focus on inner search and realization of Self and work towards achieving moksh (liberation), which was the goal of Hinduism. According to reports, it took over two years to build this marble exterior and interior two-story temple on a 4.1 acres plot, which includes the main sanctuary on the upper-floor and a multi-use community center below for various cultural, educational, social and spiritual programs. In December 2013, land sanctification ceremony of this land was organized and a ground breaking ceremony was held here in April 2014. It has announced various Sunday school programs, including Indian languages, Bhagavad-Gita, yoga, religion and culture, etc. It has also launched a “adopt a tree” campaign. Savi Ram is one of the temple leaders.
