Red steps leading to the entrance of the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center

Columbia, South Carolina

Welcome to Hindu Temple & Cultural Center of South Carolina

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय Om Namo Bhagawate Vasudevaya

The Hindu Temple & Cultural Center of South Carolina was established with an objective to fill in the need for thousands of Hindus in the State of South Carolina to worship and pray together, perform sacraments and rituals, to observe and celebrate festivals, and to perform humanitarian and educational activities.

The Temple and the community

Ever since the Temple activities started, the Temple has been increasingly serving the Hindus and the wider community in a dynamic way. It is active in inter religious activities both cultural and humanitarian. Students of Schools and Colleges visit the Temple to learn about Hindu ideals, traditions and practices. Once a year, we celebrate the “India Day” in which general public is invited to attend Indian Dance, music and taste Indian delicacies. This provides opportunities to understand and appreciate mutual cultures. The Temple provides opportunities for open house worship.
