Known locally as the Ganesh Temple, this was the first traditional Hindu temple built in North America, consecrated in 1977 and built with granite imported from India. It remains a major cultural landmark for South Asian communities in Queens, with an active canteen next door serving South Indian food to visitors and worshippers alike.
