The Hindu Temple Society of New Mexico is embarking on an exciting initiative to build a new temple and invites the community to contribute generously to this noble cause. The campaign, titled “Let’s Build A Temple,” seeks donations to create a sacred space that will stand as a timeless legacy for future generations. The project includes plans for a temple, an activity center/kitchen, and priest quarters, as shown in the detailed aerial view. Contributions can be made via Zelle, Venmo (@HinduTEMPLE-NM), or through traditional cash and checks. The new temple will not only serve as a place of worship but also as a cultural and spiritual hub for the Hindu community. Donations are a meaningful way to build your Dharma legacy and ensure that this sacred project comes to fruition.

Join us for a joyful evening of devotion, Garba, Aarti, and a community Bhandaro dinner as we celebrate Sharad Purnima. Bring your family and friends to share in this beautiful autumn celebration at the temple.

Sharad Purnima holds special significance in Hindu tradition and is associated with Lord Krishna’s Raas Leela and prayers to Mata Lakshmi. Traditionally, devotees prepare kheer, a sweet rice pudding, and place it under the moonlight as an offering—a cherished custom symbolizing blessings, nourishment, and well-being.
