History
The Karya Siddhi Temple was established by Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji, a spiritual leader known for his teachings and charitable works. [4] The temple is 34,000 square feet and began its construction in 2007 and was completed in 2015.[5] The main deity of the Hindu temple is Hanuman. The temple is known for its spiritual atmosphere and is a place where devotees come to seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman for success and fulfillment of their wishes ("karya siddhi" translates to "fulfillment of desires"). The temple's tower, also known as a "rajagopuram", was developed by Epsilon Architecture in 2019, and was constructed according to the Agama Shastras, which provide guidelines for Hindu temple construction. The tower is 72 feet tall and 900 square feet.[2]
The temple opened on July 23, 2015, and a week later, on August 1, the temple was the venue for a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous chanting with over 24 hours of recitation of Hanuman Chalisa.[3] The Chant was led by Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji.
