Sydney Murugan Temple

The intricate designs of the idols, the refreshing aroma of sandalwood and the reverent chanting of Hindu priests to the many deities, makes the Sydney Murugan Temple in Mays Hill, one of the most treasured Hindu temples in Australia. The main deity that the temple was created for is Lord Muruga, as there are a large proportion of Tamil speaking individuals in Sydney and Lord Muruga is seen as the creator of the Tamil language. The temple is beige in colour, embedded with small idols and difficult to miss as it sits over the peak of Mays Hill, parallel to the Great Western Highway.
