Malibu Hindu Temple

I recently visited the temple in Malibu and was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere. It took me about 45min drive from LA.

The option for Archanai ranging from $5 to $35 allowed for a personalized experience.

However, the additional cost for food at the food corner was a bit unexpected, similar to a restaurant setup, but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

I look forward to returning for prayers and further exploring this beautiful temple. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and spiritual retreat. 🛕🙏🏽

Malibu Hindu Temple deserves a 5-star review for its serene ambiance, stunning architecture, and spiritual sanctity. The meticulously maintained grounds, peaceful surroundings, and vibrant cultural events make it a must-visit destination for those seeking solace, cultural enrichment, and a deep connection with Hindu spirituality in the heart of California

We visited the temple on Jan 1. Though it was crowded but it was well managed by the volunteers. There is no ticket to visit the temple. Infact by the time (around 1230 pm) we reached the temple on Jan 1, it was supposed to be closed (during regular days) but we were lucky and the temple was open to general public. The road to temple is a single lane road and it was crowded due to Jan 1 visitors and we had to face almost 30 min wait on the road and then before the main sanctum we also had to wait but it was worth the wait. Volunteers managed the crowd and made sure main sanctum is not crowded.

Beautiful and amazingly serene locale apt for an amazingly peaceful and gorgeous temple. We visited over a weekday and the darshan were so peaceful. Love the architecture and cleanliness. They also have a cafe with wholesome food/prasad over the weekends only though. Very simple and smooth process for offering prasadam and archana right at the footsteps of the temple. A must-do if you happen to be near Malibu, Calabasas or near the coast.

Loved this south Indian style Hindu temple near LA. There were multiple shrines for different gods and goddess in Hindu culture. The canteen needs a major upgrade for infrastructure and food taste. What I found a bit odf is that the Vaishnav shrines and Shaiva shrines are built sepatarely with saparate entrances and exit.

Surprised to find such a beautiful Hindu temple in the Malibu mountains. Was driving up to LA and decided to make a detour and stop by to pay respect. Not Hindu myself but very a tuned of its traditions and beliefs. Reminds me of the temples I visited in South Asia a few decades ago. Worth the stop for sure. Seem the Hindu community im the area is quite engaged as they have published lots of events, etc.

Beautifully sculptured Hindu temple with Venkatesh Balaji at garbhagruha with Rada Krishna, Ram Lakshman Sita and Maruti Shri Lakshmi and Budevi temple in four corners. Another temple in complex with Shiva, Shri Ganesh, Karthikeya and Navagraha. Very peaceful and spiritual place. Must visit if you are in Los Angeles.

Beautiful Lord Vishnu & Shiva Temples
Lot of free parking
Restrooms available when temple is open

My visit to the Malibu Hindu Temple was truly memorable. The scenic drive to get there was a treat, and the staff and fellow visitors were friendly and helpful. The temple's architecture is great, and I enjoyed exploring the various altars. Coming from Toronto, Canada, I appreciated the unique blend of familiarity and novelty. I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary for a memorable experience.

Beautiful Hindu temple around Los Angeles locality. You'll feel the complete vibe of the South Indian Hindu temple. The drive through the valleys is awesome.

Such a beautiful and divine Mandir.. great priests and staff. Do not forget the South Indian delicacies on weekends in their small cafeteria.

This place is amazing. It is a hindu temple that is open to the public but people do come and actively worship at this temple. Before entering you must take your shoes off. It is free to come in and look around. I posted some photos below. If you're on the way to the beach it's a nice little stop to make to an interesting and beautiful temple.

Sprawling Shrine with Gopuram dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Annex has Shiva, Ganesha, Subrahmanya, Parvati, Saraswathi and Navagraha Shrines. Lovely ambience and spiritual place.

Very interesting architecture and atmosphere. I’m not a religious person but I love to be in that places. Be prepared to take off the shoes. The entrance is free but you have to dress up properly. The naked shoulders, tank tops, and shorts are prohibited.

We visited Malibu temple on the way to Santa Monica pier. It was a beautiful drive and the temple is located on Santa Monica mountains. Traditional south Indian Venkateswara and Shiva temple, must visit.

Great place to pray. Guests can sit a meditate, give offerings to gods, or enjoy a live performance. We went on a Saturday and watched a traditional dance. As a non Hindu, I definitely felt the spiritual vibe of this place. Not really a place to go ham on Instagram. It's a place to be felt.

Hidden gem 💎 in Malibu. Small temple 🛕 but it feels so relaxing to be there 😌 . Free entrance but you can leave a donation to support the maintenance of the temple 🛕. Leave your shoes 👞 👟 outside the entrance and be respectful 🙏 when walking around the temple 🛕.

It is beautiful Lord Venkateshwara temple located at Malibu. We went on one of the Saturday and experienced great Darshanam. It was blissful, divine and heavenly to listen to those songs. The idol of Balaji and the other idols are amazing. They still opening more goodness idol’s. They also have a canteen where you can buy Ladoo prasad ,dosas, coffee ,tea. I loved their Dosa.
The restrooms needs to be maintained.

The temple is beautiful. It's the Lord Venkateshwara temple and is surrounded by smaller temples like Lord Ram, Bhoodevi, Sri Krishna, Hanuman. And also there one more small temple for lord Ganesh, Lord Shiva. There were beautiful roses and also other flowers
