History
Established in 1977 and located in Auburn, Sydney, Sri Mandir was the first of many Hindu temples in Australia with the aim to meet the religious, social, and cultural needs of the ever-growing Hindu community.
The foundation of Sri Mandir was laid in 1976 when three guarantors, Dr Padmanabh Prabhu, Dr Anand and Dr Prem Shankar bought an old Salvation Army Hall and decided to turn it into a temple for the benefit of the Hindu community.
To turn this hall into a place of worship, the images and idols of Hindu deities were installed with all due ceremonies and celebrations.
