Shri Ganesha Temple

Maha Kumbhabhisekam

With the grace of Lord Ganesha & support from devotees, we have successfully completed 12 years since Maha Kumbhabhisekam in 2000.

Kumbhabhisekam is a purification ceremony usually performed every twelve years. Abhisheka, in general, means "bathing" and is derived from Sanskrit root sic, "to sprinkle", to which is prefixed abhi, meaning "all around". Kumbha means the Head and denotes the Shikhara or Crown of the Temple. On the appointed day and at an auspicious time, the Kumbha is bathed with charged and sanctified holy water and by a mystic process.


About the Temple

The Ganesha Temple is a unique jewel among the religious place in Adelaide - the beautiful multicultural city of churches. The Magnificent traditional temple, depicting the colorful religious architecture of india was completed in 2001. It is a place of worship that serves the needs of over 10000 people of Hindu faith in South Australia.

Hinduism is one of the oldest religion in the world, dating back over 5000 years. It teaches us love, tolerance, peace and respect for other religions. Hinduism speaks of the one supreme divine but acknowledges that God is perceived in infinite forms in different Hindu traditions thereby giving freedom to every individual to think and practise their belief and worship in his or her own way.
