History
In 1991, The Durga Temple was established as a religious organization for Northern Virginia.[2] In 1996, work began on constructing the Hindu Temple. It was financed with a 2.5 million Dollar loan from First Virginia Bank (now part of Truist Financial). In October 1996, Bhoomi Pooja was held to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony. The Temple was complete on March 21 1999.[3] The Durga Temple held a "Hinduism Summit" to educate people on Hinduism, The Struggle of Hindus, Hindu History and to change the perception of Hindus in America. The temple also offers Indian Cultural Classes, Spiritual classes and a Boy Scouts Program.[4]
