Grand Event
TEMPLE RE-INAUGURATION
This weekend (Aug 10th & 11th), the Hindu-Jain Temple of Monroeville, Pittsburgh, celebrated its 40th anniversary with a grand temple inauguration event. Founded in 1984 by revered spiritual leader H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati, this temple is one of the earliest Hindu temples in the United States. It is globally unique as the first temple where Hindus and Jains worship together. This weekend’s event brought together the Greater Pittsburgh community to honor the temple’s rich legacy. The celebration began with the "Shikhar Puja," a sacred ritual where H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Pujya Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, were lifted by cranes to pour consecrated water on the temple’s five domes. They were joined by the temple’s executive committee, board of trustees, and long-standing supporters, including Nick Patel, Vice-Chairman of the temple, who led the recent renovation project that culminated in this re-inauguration, Chetan Patel, Past-President and Secretary, Madhu Verma, President, Shubha Mallick, Chairwoman and so many supporters from the temple’s community. This ceremony symbolized the temple’s renewal and ongoing spiritual mission.
