Michigan, U.S., May 31, 2013 (Free Press): Gazing at a
new Hindu temple in Novi, Anand Gangadharan reflected
Thursday on what the all-granite building means to him.
"It feels emotionally right," said Gangadharan, the
temple's vice chair. "It's extremely gratifying for our
community. It makes America our home in a rock-solid
fashion."

That feeling is echoed by thousands of other of Hindus
across metro Detroit this week as they celebrate the
grand opening of a $10-million temple with six days of
religious ceremonies that end Sunday. The Sri
Venkateswara Temple and Cultural Center is the first one
in Michigan named after a popular deity in southern
India.

It's one of several new Hindu temples being built in
metro Detroit that reflects the growth and success of the
Asian Indian-American community in Michigan. A Hindu
temple in Troy opened a new $11-million center last year
and other new Hindu centers have opened in recent years
in Detroit, Hamtramck, Ada, Canton, Pontiac, Sterling
Heights and Livonia.
