Religious & Socio-Cultural Services
After a continuous lobbying and perseverance of the volunteers over a four-year period, CHM succeeded in getting ACT Government approval of the land identified in Moncrieff, Gungahlin.
Our vision is to establish a temple complex based on the traditional Hindu scriptures and Guru Parampara to practice, preserve, promote and uphold the Sanatna Dharma and Vedic Philosophy.
What makes us unique
Anybody who respects or practices and has faith in Hinduism based on principles of Sanatna Dharma from any country is welcome to join Canberra Hindu Mandir.
Spiritual Centre
We aim to meet the spiritual, ritual and ceremonial needs of the steadily growing Hindu population in Gungahlin district, North Canberra, and interstate and overseas visitors.
Religious Centre
There are many manifestations and, most importantly, the belief of the trinity of Gods — Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Hinduism believes in one and only one supreme God.
Centre of Learning
We will provide comprehensive educational services including Indian languages, ancient scriptures, fine arts and cultural activities.
Vedic Centre
In addition to conducting deity worship and religious classes, CHM encourages learning of arts such as music, traditional dances, yoga, meditation and ethnic languages.
