The New Zealand Hindu Temple Society, incorporated in 1996 by founding members Jeevan Siva and Ilango Krishnamoorthy, has owned and operated the Mangere Thiru Subramaniyar Aalayam Temple at 69 Tidal Road in South Auckland’s Mangere suburb since 2015. Built in South Indian style with granite deity images, the temple is dedicated to Thiru Subramaniyar — Lord Subramaniam, more widely known as Murugan or Kartikeya — the son of Shiva and Parvati venerated especially within Tamil Shaiva tradition.

Now marking nearly three decades of service to Auckland’s Tamil and broader South Indian Hindu community, the temple functions as a spiritual center offering daily worship services, ritual ceremonies, and community activities for devotees across the wider Auckland region.
