Established in 1977, today this temple stands as a symbol of growing Hindu population around California and peaceful coexistence that it preaches and practices. Ample parking, worships done via Vedic rituals, clean and serene environment, spacious and well defined layout and prasad being served in the noon makes this a highly desirable place to visit. On our day of visit, a special kalyanam event was held and had a sumptuous prasad was served. I commend the temple trustees and devotees for running such an efficient temple 🙏🙏

I frequently visit this sacred place every month, and it brings me a great sense of peace and bliss. The temple showcases all the Hindu gods and goddesses you could possibly imagine, and their prasadam is simply the best in the Bay Area. On occasion, there are classical dance performances that add to the already serene atmosphere.

I received a very important reminder to CHECK VISITING HOURS when we sadly arrived around 12:30 pm to see a sign saying it was open weekdays 9am-12:00 and then closed until evening hours. So we stared forlornly at the gorgeous Temple and snapped photos of the lovely flowers lining the gates. There looked to be plenty of parking.If you do decide to visit dont go in the afternoons and please remember to dress in respectful attire as their website requests (no shorts etc. ).

Most beautiful temple in the US. Well maintained and clean temple. When you enter the temple you can feel abundance of positive vibes. The temple prasadam is delicious 😋 and the paid prasadam (snacks) in temple office is good. Their Vada and Laddu is worth it 👍🏽.Huge temple with lots of space for parking lot!!

A beautiful temple located in Livermore. Built in the late 70s or so. It has been maintained beautifully and houses Kashi Vishwanath and Tirupati Venkateshwara deities. They have a peaceful atmosphere all around with plenty of roses for beauty. They offer food as prasadam on weekends. They also have a free health advisory clinic on Saturday from 12 to 2 pm.

The best Hindu temple that I have ever visited in the USA. Lot of idols of various gods and goddesses. The temple looks awesome from both outside and inside. They have a large parking lot and even an overflow parking lot. It gets super busy on special occasions like new year etc but most of the other regular days the experience is super awesome 💯. I am a regular visitor of this temple and I enjoy every time I come here. They also serve prashadam which is very tasty.

1. Donations Donations Donations2. Priest at the Balaji sanctum is horrible. He thinks and acts as if he owns the place. Made it an awful and embarrassing experience. (12:30 Balaji puja)Personally, I do not feel a sense of solace or peace at this temple compared to other temple visits. Not sure if this is because of the temple or the priest.

One of the most serene and beautiful temples I have visited. It has an extremely authentic architecture. Frankly, I am not a religious person but I loved the positive vibes and cleanliness of this place. Thats more important for concentration and brings out the feel-good factor. Management has done a great job.Photography and videography is not allowed inside. Its totally fair as I feel that one should experience it in person. Theres a well manicured lawn in front to spend quality time and get some amazing clicks.I went on a Saturday morning and attended Vishnu aarti at 11 followed by prasad in the form of apple and banana. Laddus were available for purchase in their admin department in the adjacent building. Washrooms are kept clean. They have an area to remove your shoes but I would suggest to keep them in your car if possible. They have mandated to bring your covid vaccination cards but nobody checked. Still, please do carry.

An Indian cultural place in Livermore where most people visit often for worship of lord Vishnu and Shiva

Review №21

2022-08-21 22:48:24

One of the best temple in bay area. Crowded most of the times but there is enough parking for everyone if its not a festival day. Great architecture and pleasant environment. You always feel relaxed and have a sense of peace once youre here. Enough space behind the temple where there is huge community hall for events. There are several other activities happening in temple premises, like yoga, etc. Prasadam is generally served in the community hall.

The Siva-Vishnu temple Livermore, California is a nice temple with divine vibs attracting lot of devotees across the state. Having sannidhis for Lord Siva, Vishnu, Anjaneyar Navagrahas and other deities. During our visit all electrical lights were switched off during Siva poojai and it was excellent and exclusive when Dheepaarathi was shown to Lord Siva.. (not seen anywhere so far by me) Visit this nice grand temple in Livermore whenever you touch California.

Built like a South Indian temple, one of oldest and largest in the Bayarea. Huge space with a large auditorium and prasad served from the kitchen. Lots of parking and very well organized. Most of the Hindu festivals are celebrated with people coming down from the rest of the bay.

This place is divine and peaceful. We usually visit this temple during festivals and there are so many people visiting during the same time. It makes us feel we are back in India. Everything is well organized so waiting in long lines for darshana feels easy. They serve hot Prasadam each and every time. Prasadam is very tasty and they never run out of it. Really appreciate the efforts of all the volunteers working hard in the temple.

Very divine. It was an auspicious day when we visited this temple. Well maintained and all Pooja activities are being conducted as per tradition. Prasadam was distributed and it was quite awesome with typical south Indian aroma and taste.

Good and clean and little big temple in and around bay area. However things( pooja, homas etc of devotional programs ) happen here more artificial than realistic, its my opinion... however with piece of mind you can go and visit god idols and get relief from stress and do your things which you believe are more traditional than Artificial...!!!

Review №35

2021-05-30 03:29:23

I visit here regularly on weekdays and I appreciate the serenity and a moment of spiritual connection with the divine. You can get different Poojas (South Indian style) done here by a priest if you want. It is usually not crowded on weekdays if youre concerned about Covid. The priests inside the temple sometimes yap on their cellphones, which disturbs the peace. But otherwise it is generally a good place to be. Cant say much about any community feeling since I rarely get to talk to anyone. I tried many a times even before Covid. People outside the temple premises make eye contact but make no attempt to talk socially so Ive accepted that finally. But on the positive side, they have a great collection of pretty rose bushes lined up on either side of the temple which you must see. They have Prasad on weekends as well.

Visiting Siva Vishnu Temple on New Years Day was a spiritually enriching experience. The serene atmosphere, intricate architecture, and vibrant ceremonies created a peaceful ambiance. The temples cultural significance was evident, and the welcoming community added to the positive vibe. It was a meaningful way to start the New Year, connecting with traditions and spirituality at Siva Vishnu Temple.

Biggest balaji temple in bay area. Its 40 miles away from San Jose. We started from San Jose at 11 am and reached 11:45 am. There was little traffic. Huge parking space at the temple. Lot if telugu people at one place you can see, good time to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. We had a quick darshan, multiple gods and goddesses are there. One must visit this temple.

I really liked this temple.. It looks as if it is maintained by South Indian community.. There are beautiful idols of different Gods they believe in…This temple is packed on weekends as there are lot of devotees…If you wanna do puja archana to any God, there is counter inside the temple where you can buy archana basket for $12..there is specific time, that shows on the screens … You can buy Prasadam laddoo for $5.. This is very big laddoo and yummy too…I have given one star less as there is dust inside the temple … you can feel it on the floor and you can see on the upside of the rooms for different idols when you zoom the pictures you can see easily.. They should take care of cleaniness as well..

Probably the largest temple in northern California hosting tens of idols of Hindu God/Godess. The prayer room is very spacious. The architecture of the main temple is magnificent.There are multiple rooms and a a big auditorium for hosting cultural and religious activities. These rooms can be rented for selective purposes.The door is open to all and they offer free food/prasadam on weekends.

Tucked into an unassuming corner of suburban Livermore, the Shiva-Vishnu Temple is one of the area’s most unique cultural attractions.For those who stumble upon it by chance, it often comes as a surprise to encounter such an ornate and impressive example of Indian architecture in such a traditional California neighborhood.The temple’s pyramid structure is adorned with a variety of Hindu deities. Inside, there’s an expansive hall and large kitchen that churns out tasty vegan meals.The temple is located on Arrowhead Avenue in Livermore, not far from the downtown area.

Large Hindu temple catering to all streams of faiths within. You have all major deities present here - Ganesha, Siva, Muruga, Parvathi, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Bhudevi, Hanuman, Krishna, Rama etc. The purohits seem to be knowledgeable about rituals and mantras. Every important function is listed out on digital displays with details of puja timings. Prasad (food offering) is available sumptuously. You can donate if you feel like, whatever you may fancy. A very popular place for south Indians.

Today went there after very long time But was disappointed to see that devotees aren’t allowed inside the temple . They have put big glass on the doors to restrict people and for everyone to see the idols from far . Here in Fresno, 10 devotees are allowed inside the temple at a time, and Temple here is much smaller than Shiva Vishnu Temple . And our priest is always smiling and very friendly.There were boards with tons of instructions placed at the entrance, which I thought was too much . One year down with Covid still around, everyone knows what to do and what not to . Also I always feel the priests and the administration there is very arrogant, they are not a bit courteous. They are always frowning as though, they detest their job . I never feel welcoming there, sadly . Though everyone should feel equal in the house of God, not like some kind of untouchables. I hope they read my feedback and mend their ways 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Horrible temple. They cheat a lot and only certain people get special treatment here. They will take sponsorship from you but won’t do it. We were caught by surprise and when discussed with office manager he had such an attitude and didn’t treat us with respect. Everyone lied in different way. They took money from us for a sponsorship and never delivered it. Very bad experience and many friends shared the same. So pls stay away from this temple. Under the name of temple they are doing only business and only certain set of people get special treatment. Nothing here goes to god. We gave for Abhishekam and they didn’t even do sankalpam or gave any prasad. They took money from us for vastram but didn’t wear it as someone special they know gave another vastram for that day. They didn’t even apologize the manger guy in temple thinks he is some CEO or something and had a bad attitude no respect for people here. They charged us hefty. Throughout the time we were there, we came across only hustlers (including priests) trying to take money from us for some sponsorship or other. Couldn’t even get proper dharsan of god. The priest here treat you differently if you give money vs not even while giving theertham they won’t give you unless u pay them. Very discriminating temple they respect only if you speak in telegu.

Beautiful temple. Our drive to the temple was quite long but the calm & soothing atmosphere at the temple made up for the drive. Been with fam and it was a Sunday to remember.The temple is on a expansive premises and looks beautiful.Quite a few pujari’s in there too. Lastly, they have an option for Anna danam and in the back yard lunch was served as well.Go and make your day.Siya pati Ramachandra ki Jai.

This temple is one of the oldest in the Bay Area. It has developed progressively over the past three decades and now can provide just about any religious ceremony a Hindu could ask for. The community supporting the temple has grown exponentially and important festivals are a joy to partake in. The temple gives a deep sense of peace and centering every time we visit. I highly recommend this temple and its deeply knowledgeable religious priests and staff. An absolute, must visit place for anybody visiting the Bay Area.

Nice and well organized temple. When ever I visit there I get mental peace. There is no rush, all Gods and Godesses statues are placed in proper place. Huge space in the middle to sit and spend sometime for chanting or meditation. Somehow I miss Lord Jagannath but I can see him in other avatars like Lord Krishna, Lord Balaji and Lord Rama. Overall a nice place to visit and get the blessings.

Great temple, loved the ambience.Sharing my experience from today:Pujari completed the prayers and then asked me to move and there were a few people who were standing behind me and asked them to come forward. He offered them a bunch of fruits and prasadam. We were not offered any prasadam.I tried to make a sense out of what just happened, shortly I realized that I was a north indian and therefore I was discriminated.That was a very funny experience to me. I call it funny because someone doing something like this is so ridiculous that I felt that there is no point in trying to say anything to a pujari who is expected to be such a evolved human being and expected to treat everyone is equal, is so biased.Since I experienced this, I was trying to figure out what was an opposite of this experience. There are other temples of other religions where you are welcome and they offer you food and will not discriminated. I will not call out the temple/religion or else someone reading this will assume I am biased :)Just saying....Shiva Vishnu temple, please fix this issue that I highlighted

I do not know if its that particular priest or everyone there. Occurred on 18 Dec 2022 around noon. I hope the management trains these folks to do a better job. The priest didnt even ask for any Gotrams... Nakshatram etc.. I think the temples in the Bay Area do a better job. Very disappointing!!!

The Nithya kaala Pooja (daily rituals) are performed with utmost fidelity to some of the Sampradhaaya practices.The temple staffs and volunteers organize utsavams throughout the year with a lot of exuberance, primarily for people to visit, participate, and have Darshan.Besides weekday aarthi, the best times to visit on a weekend is on Saturdays between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM for the mangala aarthi seva.

This is perhaps the largest Hindu temple in the San Francisco Bay area. Currently devotees are not being allowed inside the building due to Covid-19 restrictions. Temple houses different Hindu deities and offers other religious services including spiritual classes, special worship programs, house warming, car and new vehicle anointment to name a few. Despite the restrictions there are always a good number of devotees visiting. There is ample parking facilities too. Before restrictions the temple offered free food for visiting devotees, and will resume after they are lifted.

One of the best temples in Livermore. It’s a must visit even if you are a non believer.Visited on 26.05.2023Reviewed on 01.06.2023

Beautiful temple! Only thing, flower decoration indoors is fully artificial( no real flowers) so it doesnt feel authentic.

Lots of parking space & big temple. Very neatly maintained. I loved that there was a place to wash our hands and legs near the temple. They have a center for teachings. Will definitely travel 1.5 hours just to visit and pray again!

Beautiful South Indian style Temple. Very crowded through during festivals and events. Otherwise very well maintained.
