Sri Venkateswara Temple

We weren’t expecting this temple to be around the corner so we made a surprise visit. It is very impressive and it was a treat to explore a different culture. I wasn’t dressed for the occasion so we went to the desk on the left and a nice man gave me a wrap to cover my legs (and even chose one to match my top)! No photos are allowed inside but it was so colourful and has hundreds of statues and intricate carvings. We really enjoyed the visit, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to explore and learn.

It was really nice to visit this temple. This was the main reason we wanted to visit Helensburgh. It was mostly quiet but a bit busy so we could not sit there in the temple as we generally sit for some peaceful time. It was nice to visit though especially on a rainy day which made everything beautiful anyway. The temple inside is pretty and you would once forget that you are in Australia. The sculptures and idols were beautiful. The hygiene is something the temple authority should take seriously. There was no door mat etc on a rainy day and we entered the temple premises with wet feet and you can understand how dirty it can make a place when 50-60 people go like that back to back. There were a number of squeezed lemons were left inside the entrance which were looking gross. We didn’t try the canteen.

Visited the Helensburgh Venkateswara Temple on the auspicious day of Vaikunta Ekadasi 🙏. Even though it was jam-packed with devotees, there was plenty of parking available 🚗 and the arrangements were well managed. The temple is rich in culture, calm, and filled with a positive spiritual vibe ✨. It truly feels no different from visiting a traditional temple in India 🇮🇳🛕.Would say a perfect or must visit place if you are in sydney 🙏🙏🙏

Nice relaxing place. Visit during week day, hardly someone was their. No one was to attend you until the time comes and they open the gate.
