Hindu Temple of Minnesota is a Hindu Temple located in Maple Grove serving the over 40,000 hindus in the Minneapolis Metropolitan Area. It has a floor space of over 43,000 square feet, making it one of the largest Hindu temples in the United States[1]. It has the capacity to accommodate up to 5,000 people at one time.
History[edit]
The Hindu Temple was vandalized in 2005 during a $9 million expansion plan to build multiple temples[2]. Currently, the temple is planning to develop a nearby 60 acre plot of land for use for various buildings such as senior condos and a yoga retreat center[3].
