For more than 30 years, the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago (HTGC), also known as the Rama Temple, has been serving thousands of Hindu families in the Chicagoland area. Located near the Des Plaines River Valley, the complex consists of two temples: the Rama temple and Ganesha-Shiva-Durga temple, both of which were constructed by artisans and builders from India.
The HTGC offers priest services by appointment, but is open for worship Monday - Friday, 9am - 9pm. The temple holds monthly classes and special events, such as yoga and meditation, music festivals and Sunday School for children. It is also open to people outside the Hindu religion. The architecture and rich cultural experience make it a must-see destination in Lemont. Groups of five or more can schedule tours from 10am to 11:30am by calling 630-972-0300.
