Opened on this site in January of 1985, the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago actually provides two separate temples:
The Rama Temple, which includes Sri Rama, Sita and Lakshmana; Lord Ganesha, Sri Hanuman, Lord Venkateshwara (Balaji), Mahalakshmi, Sri Krishna and Radha.
The Ganesha-Shiva-Durga Temple, which includes, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Durga Devi, Lord Subrahmanya, Devi Parvathi, and Navagraha.
According to the official website, The Rama temple was built to specifications in the authentic style of the Chola dynasty (a 10th century dynasty of Indian Kings). The 80-foot tower (Gopuram) is a potent symbol of Hindu spirit. A large hall in the lower level of the temple has facilities to stage cultural events.
A smaller temple Ganesha-Shiva-Durga temple was built in the architecture style of the Kalinga dynasty (1st century B.C.).
