Introduction

New York City is home to Hindu temples, mandirs, spiritual centres and devotional communities representing traditions from different parts of India. From the famous Ganesh Temple in Flushing, Queens, to the Radha Govinda Temple in Brooklyn and the smaller Ganesha shrine in Manhattan, devotees can find places for daily worship, festivals, pujas, bhajans, meditation and community activities.

Queens is an especially important destination for Hindu worship in NYC, with several temples concentrated around Flushing, Elmhurst, Woodside and nearby neighbourhoods. Manhattan has smaller devotional and Vedanta centres, while Brooklyn is home to an established ISKCON temple.

This guide focuses on places within New York City's five boroughs. Temple schedules and access arrangements can change, so visitors should check the temple's own website or call before travelling.
