Location
Open in Google MapsEstablished in 1992 to serve an estimated 3,500 Hindu families then living in the Orlando area, the Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir has grown alongside Central Florida’s expanding Hindu community. Centered on Lakshmi Narayan — Vishnu together with his consort Lakshmi — the temple became a primary hub for the region’s Hindu worship and cultural life; its Diwali celebrations grew large enough by 1998 to require rented space at a local high school. The temple also participates in the Interfaith Council of Central Florida, engaging in broader interfaith dialogue across the Orlando metropolitan area.
