The best thing about Concord temple, its simplicity and the fact that donations are always voluntary. In some places, they put prices on different services and call that a donation.Also like the priest here who always welcome everyone and take personal attachment as much as possible.

Flet very welcoming and good feeling. Hope to see this place grow to a bigger temple..A temple should automatically get 5 Star rating. Hope the people who run it will do the needful to keep it up. As public who benefit from the temple will contribute our part to help keep it up.

The Lord Shiva Murugan Temple in Concord is a holy worshipping place for Hindus. People especially South Indians residing all over the state of California in USA use to visit Concord and worship The Lord Muruga and His elder brother Lord Ganesha deities to whom regular poojas and special occasion poojas are performed by the saints after decorations with flowers and dresses. Devotees use to bring prasadams to the temple and worship the Lord Muruga and the Lord Ganesha regularly especially in the weekend days. Bharatha Natya Dance Programmes are periodically performed in the Temple by the girl children of the Hindu people. Prasadams as food is provided to the devotees after the main Aradhana Pooja is over. The temple is having the required parking lot and rest room facilities.The temple is being managed by a committee members dedicated to the development of it. The entire credit goes to one philanthropist Naattu Kottai Chettiar who originally funded for its establishment long ago with a little money which paved a way for its grand development. The expansion plan of the temple furthermore is also on the way in a big way.

Smaller compared to Livermore. Check for the Pooja timings before you start - we went around 6:45 on a Saturday evening and the arathi was around 7:45 ish.It was our first time - looked like limited street parking, but the parking lot in the nearby bank is open for devotees in the evenings.

Serene and Divine place to worship God Shiva, God Murugan and God Genesha. One of the oldest temples in Bay Area, it is managed by very good time committee and committed priests that perform pujas in South Indian style. If you never been here, plan to visit in an occasion such as today, for Ganesh Chaturdhi, to see the Hindu traditions and rituals in action. On Sundays, Abhisheka is performed for one of the deities - a tradition that is being continued over a decade.
