Sri Venkateswara Temple of North Carolina

In July 1998, a couple bought 2.8 acres (1.1 ha) of undeveloped land at 21 Balaji Place, Cary.

[2] Fourteen artisans were brought in from India to hand carve the temple's decorative Hindu idols out of cement.

[2] Engineer Nand Gopal Sachdeva was the main builder; he worked free of charge and billed other expenses at cost.

In October 2022, the entrance tower or Rajagopuram was inaugurated by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.

During the ceremony, a 9 feet (2.7 m), 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) statue of Sri Venkateswara, a form of Vishnu, was installed along with eighteen other deities.

In that context, it is very unique.” The temple's main area includes a wide Gopuram, which was revealed on the day of Diwali in 2022.
