Hinduism 101

Hindus believe in one Supreme Being who is infinite, all-pervading and eternal and the source of all creation. God is in everything that exists, and is at the same time beyond the manifest universe. The various functions and aspects of the Supreme Being are given different names. For instance, the Trinity of Hinduism consists of Brahma - the Creator, Vishnu - the sustainer, and Shiva - the Destroyer. The incarnations of the Trinity are worshipped in various forms. The temples usually have some incarnations of the Trinity as idols for devotion and worship.

Wellcome to Sarvajana Mandir - A Hindu Temple in Huntsville.

A Temple for All People

Our temple - Sarvajana Mandir - is authentic and built according to traditional Hindu architectural design. It is a majestic, elegant temple, and truely an asset to the Hindu community in Huntsville.
