Sydney Durga Temple

In 2005, the Sri Durgadevi Devasthanam paid a deposit to secure the land of one acre at 21 Rose Crescent, Regents Park at value of $2.05 million. The Temple land is in close proximity to the Regents Park Station and close the Hindu communities, within Sydney. The final settlement and Foundation Ceremony “Boomi Pooja” was conducted in August 2006. Following the construction of the Temporary Prayer Hall (Stage 1 of Construction), in Late 2006, the three deities were moved to the Temple land, with a momentous inauguration ceremony.

Stage 1 was completed in October 2006, and consisted of a Temporary Prayer Hall with amenities. The poojas are conducted four times a day at, 8:00am, 12:00pm, 4:30pm and 7:00pm. Abhishekams and Homams are also conducted regularly. The Chandi Homams, Navagraha Homams and other special rituals are conducted on request.

Stage 2 Construction commenced in August 2009, at the cost of $1.85 million and consists of an Educational/Cultural Hall. The Hall has a height elevation of 6 metres, with a 3 metre excavated base. This is due to be completed in early 2010. This will be the first Hindu community hall, within a Temple Complex in Australia.
