Sydney Murugan Temple

There are certain customs that must be followed prior to entering the temple, these customs include the removal of shoes and the washing of the feet, as this is a sign of respect to the Hindu deities.
Every day, auspicious poojas (rituals to deities) occur at different intervals of the day, along with monthly Hindu festivals and the hosting of several Hindu weddings. The atmosphere surrounding the temple is peaceful yet powerful making it ideal for meditation.

It is almost impossible to leave the temple, without feeling cleansed of bad energy, effects and vibrations. The temple allows people to conduct personalised poojas, by paying the administration office $20. The pooja involves a plate of flowers, fruits and holy powder being offered by the priest on your behalf to the deity and sacred hymns being recited by the priest for your wellbeing. However, there is no obligation to conduct a personalised pooja as just witnessing the daily temple poojas that occur, provide the same sense of fulfilment and tranquillity that are felt by observing sacred rituals in India.
