Hindu Temple and Cultural Center

A quiet divine atmosphere to pray and offer to God. They conduct various Hindu festivals.

Over the past 40 years, the Hindu Mandir of Windsor became the central point of all religious and cultural activities in Windsor-Essex and neighboring areas. The Hindu Mandir was recognized as a non-profit organization by both the province of Ontario and the Canada Revenue Agency. Articles of Incorporation were prepared and submitted to the government. In 1983, the first Puja was held at the Mandir, and soon celebrating all Indian festivals became a regular affair. Even back then, the community donated generously and participated wholeheartedly in this noble cause despite a relatively lesser Hindu population.It was  in 2007 that the Hindu Mandir devotees formalized the institution further, and adopted a new Constitution. The Hindu Mandir was renamed as The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center, and a Board of Directors was formed. The Board elected a President, Secretary and a Treasurer. The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center was registered as a not-for-profit charitable organization under the Canadian Customs & Revenue Agency (CCRA), as per Federal Government rules.Shortly after the constitution was formed, the temple hosted a 10-day Ganesh Utsav, followed by celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi and Ganesh Visarjan. For the first time, the temple and its committee saw coming together of all the communities to celebrate the festival. It was almost divine and surreal to see hundreds of devotees participating shoulder to shoulder in the festivities.In our culture, all good things begin with Lord Ganesha’s blessings. As if coming directly from the Lord itself, the committee and the devotees felt the need to have a bigger space to accommodate a growing community. This event instilled a renewed faith in all devotees about the prospect of building a new Temple.The Ganesh Utsav since then became a yearly affair. Other events and festivals such as Holi, Garba & Dandiya Raas, Navratri, Annakut, Mahashivratri, and Ram Navmi also received participation from the community. The Sri Lankan and the Tamil group of Windsor-Essex began celebrating Pongal (Sankranti) at the Temple as well. Preeti Bhoj, prepared from scratch by participating families, began to be served at every festival.
