Sri Meenakshi Temple in Pearland
Photographer: Kevin Stillman

Sri Meenakshi Temple

Rising from the flat, coastal plains, this temple, built in the style of those in southern India, is dedicated to the Goddess Meenakshi and is the only temple for the goddess outside of India. This temple celebrates several traditions of Hindu worship through festivals and rites of passage, which have been supplemented by new rituals in order to meet the cultural challenges of living in America. The temple holds religious discourses and workshops, as well as educational activities, centered on the Indian classical arts. It also houses a library. Open 8:30 a.m.–noon and 5–8:30 p.m. Mon.–Thu., 8:30 a.m.–noon and 5–9 p.m. Fri., and 8:30 a.m.–8:30 p.m. Sat.–Sun. and holidays. 17130 McLean Road. 281/489-0358. www.meenakshi.org.
