The Hindu Temple of Florida is a Hindu temple and cultural center in Tampa, Florida.

History

In 1983, a group of Hindus residing in and around Tampa, Florida established the Hindu Temple of Florida, a non-profit organization. In 1989, the organization purchased land located ten miles north of Tampa International Airport. Construction for the temple began in 1994 and concluded in 1996. In 1996, the Maha Kumbabhishekam and the consecration of the deities was performed by a priest to commemorate the opening of the temple. Following the opening, after six years of continued construction, the intricate carvings and sculptures seen on the external facing walls of the temple were completed.

Temple dimensions

The temple is 70 feet tall and 14,573-square-feet. The rajagopuram was designed and created by Muthiah Sthapathi and artists from Chennai, India.
