Sridurga Hindu Temple

Very pleasant & soothing You will feel like visiting this place again and again. Temple is getting renovated and will visit again.

It's a typical Tamilian Durga Amman temple with a clean surrounding, a Gajasthamba, and lots of space to sit down and meditate or chant mantras. It also has temples dedicated to Lord Ganesh, Navagraha, Venkateshwara, Bhairava, etc. The lintel is adorned with motifs depicting important Hindu mythological stories. The entire temple houses well maintained snake plants, the Holy Basil, and other plants giving a pleasant feeling.

I discovered this temple this summer and I absolutely love visiting here. The festival in August, especially was full of spirituality. The staff were extremely friendly. The temple itself has beautiful stone work and architecture, which is rare to come across in local Canadian temples. Also the food given to devotees during the festival is a must try !! All in all, this temple is certainly my number one choice when it comes to prayer and divination.

Nice clean Hindu temple. Small walk from Victoria and Lawrence Ave towards west of Lawrence...

Very nicely maintained temple. Lots of greenery inside the temple too! Everyone was wearing a mask and socially distancing.

It was a peaceful experience inside the temple. The exterior was in the construction phase .... however they maintained the interior very well.

Wanted to give half star or 0 star. The woman in the temple screamed at me for holding my lamp and i requested her to say it politely to which she replied, if you don't know don't come to the temple. This is extremely rude and discriminating as I was trying to pray and she would not let me. Which religion says that someone is not allowed to the temple. ARRRGGGGHHHH it literally spoilt my entire day and how ruthless and rude people can talk!!! I really need to know how is that acceptable when someone says don't visit the temple?

Being a human it’s beyond my capabilities to rate a temple. The above rating is for the temple's management. Because every temple is beautiful, this one was too. However, my wife and I discovered a few difficulties there. 1. Every information/instructions were written in the native language (South Indian). There were extremely few, if any, in English. As I believe, A Temple is for everyone and anyone can come for offer a pray, but if they don't understand their native language, it will be difficult for them to understand or follow whatever is written inside the temple. There should have been a common/global language too, like English. 2. On May 1st, we paid them a visit (it was a bright sunny day). As soon as we entered the temple, one of the pandits approached us and requested that we remove our jackets and leave them outside. We stepped outside and attempted to read all of the instructions, but there was no mention of leaving the jackets outside. (This relates to my first point about a lack of information/instructions in a generally recognised language.) However, a few minutes later, another native man (perhaps a member of the temple administration team) entered the temple wearing his jacket and no one stopped him. This struck me as a little discriminatory; if there is a regulation, it should apply to everyone, regardless of status. If management reads this, I'll ask them to consider my suggestions as constructive criticism that will eventually benefit them. I must add that the temple, like many other temples across the world, is really beautiful, but if a few flaws are addressed, it will be the best site to come for individuals like us on a regular basis
