In the area of Fairfax, there are not any Hindu temples. The nearest one is Durga Temple in Springfiled or Rajdhani Mandir in Chantilly. This temple is small now with great plans, they have multiple programs and offer standard services. I am not sure why Mr Charles would give a 3 star. Anyway for a Hindu, this is truly godsend ;)

I was driving by Sri Venkateswara Lotus Temple on Braddock road this past Sunday(5÷6÷12) and noticed the huge tents and tremendous amount of people on the grounds. Out of curiosity I found out the Hindu temple was hosting Tirumala Tirupati Lord Sri(Balaji) Venkateswara from India! From discussing the event with co-workers, it is considered a great honor to receive the Lord’s blessing with the great bhakti, Shradda and enjoy the feeling of being in Tirumala Tirupati(India). Devoted Hindu’s and open minded patrons had an opportunity to participate in all sevas and obtain the blessings of Lord Sri Venkateswara. Below is the highlight of events: * 7:30AM — Sri Suprabhatam * 8:15AM — Tomala Seva * 9:00AM — Sahasranama Archana * 10:00AM– Sri Srinivasa Kalyana Mahotsavam * 6:00PM– Unjal Seva and Sahasra Deepa Alankaram * 9:00PM– Ekantha Pavalimpu Seva Additional signifianct and unique features of this event included: * Vigrahas(Idols) of Sri Bhu Sametha Venkateswara Swami from Tirupati * TTD priests and Veda Prabhanda Pandits performed all Sevas * Authentic Arjitha sevas as seen in Tirumala. * Puja Samagri and laddu Prasadam were brought in from India * Thambhulam for premium and Kalyanam sponsorship from Tirupati
