Hindu Association is an association formed by the Indian residents of North West Arkansas in the mid 90’s. It has been a long standing need of Hindu Association of NWA to have Mandir for religious practice, a bode of worship and center for cultural education. We need it for ourselves and for our posterity, for preserving our heritage and our values and for propagating our culture. It is said that God only helps those who help themselves. Let our resolve be as strong as the holy shrine, let our commitment echo the sounds of the temple bells. Let our thoughts be pure as pearly white and let our actions be selfless and pious.

The vision of the Hindu Association of North West Arkansas is to enhance the religious experience for all in our diverse congregational community. The temple will enhance and expand programs in education, youth & adult activities and services to the community.

Hindu Association achieved a major milestone on November 6th by inaugurating the prayer hall. This will be our Temple till we build the temple on the top of the hill. We hope to achieve that goal in 3 years. The priest from Tulsa temple conducted the Consecration ceremony. The ceremony started at 8:30 Am with the pradhana dwara pooja.
