Durga Temple of Virginia

Since its founding, the Hindu community in the Washington Metropolitan area has reflected the nature and philosophy of attracting immigrants to the United States from all over the world. Buoyed by this country’s freedom, liberty, and opportunity, countless people have come here. After making the initial economic adjustment, they look forward to implanting their national cultural values in the American lifestyle. Within the parameters of these values come food, language, music, and religious practices.
