The Malibu Hindu Temple is a Hindu temple built in the traditional South Indian style. It is dedicated to the Hindu god Venkateswara. It is located in the Santa Monica Mountains in Calabasas, near Malibu, California.
The founding father of the temple is Vasan Srinivasan, a civil engineer living in the Los Angeles area. Srinivasan played a key role in raising funds from local families, overseeing the construction, and bringing in priests from India.
The complex consists of two temples - the upper temple dedicated to Venkateswara and the lower temple dedicated to Shiva. Both temples are built of concrete in the Dravidian architectural style. Apart from the main deity, both temples have shrines for other deities. The complex has a small shrine at each of the four corners, dedicated to Rama, Lakshmi, Bhudevi, and Krishna. It also has a fifth shrine dedicated to Hanuman https://www.malibuhindutemple.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKgkrBCq-Xo
