History

Plans for a Hindu temple in Perth were first began in 1985. The land was consecrated in 1987 by Swami Shantanand Saraswati and construction was completed and the murtis installed in February 1990.[1] It is the oldest Hindu temple in Western Australia;[2] another temple was built in Perth by Tamil Hindus.[3] The temple's construction, including a final Royal Tower (for which Perth council contributed over $600,000)[4] took over 20 years and was completed in June 2008.[5][6]

In May 2022, in the lead up to Australia's national elections, both major parties promised donations of $1 million towards development of the temple.[7][8][9]
