Sydney Durga Temple

In October 2002, The Sri Durgadevi Devasthanam was established to maintain the Hindu religion and culture in Sydney.

The main objectives of the Devasthanam are to worship Goddess Durga, to promote Hinduism and to help disadvantaged people.

The organisation aims to impart religious, educational and cultural values of Hinduism to its community and future generations.

In 2005, the Shri Durgadevi Devasthanam paid a deposit of $2.05 million to secure the land of one acre at 21 Rose Crescent, Regents Park.

Following the construction of the Temporary Prayer Hall, in late 2006, the three deities were moved to the Temple land, with a momentous inauguration ceremony.

The temple will also have a ceremonial flag pole (kodi maram), a pedestal for sacrificial offerings (balipeetam), and shrines (sannidhi) for the Ashta Lakshmi, Navagraham and Bairavar.

Over a period of 12 days, devotees come to the temple to receive blessings from Goddess Durga and witness special Poojas, Bajans and cultural programs.

The Dinner with Entertainment includes speeches from committee members, a variety of dance and vocal performances and auctions, followed by a delicious feast made by the volunteers of the cooking department in the temple.

The following people have been elected to the Management Committee for 2021: Mr. Ratnam M Mahendran (President), Mr. Sathy Surendran (Secretary), Mr. Mahalingam Sasseendran (Treasurer), Mr Kiru.
