Photograph of the exterior of the Hindu Temple of Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. The entrance is framed by white square columns, and intricate statues of Hindu deities sit above the dark doors. An intricately-carved pyramidal tower called a shikara rises from the center of the temple.
The Hindu Temple of Atlanta serves the growing Hindu population of northeast Georgia. The temple serves as the focus of Hindu life, where practitioners gather for worship, education, and social activities. - Metadata URL:
