Hindu Temple of Antelope Valley

Our Story

The Hindu Temple of Antelope Valley is a cultural center for community prayer, learning, and service. We aim to create uplifting experiences for all devotees, seekers, and learners. Our temple houses MahaVishnu as the central deity, surrounded by Ganesha, Shiv Parivar, Devi Akhilandeswari, Sri Hanuman, Ram Parivar, Radha Krishna, and a nearby Navagraha. The temple was completed in 2015 thanks to Her Holiness Sri Mathioli Saraswathy Amma’s blessings, the leadership of the late Dr. Anil Kumar, and the generosity of foundational donors.

Did you know that HTAV is...

the only temple in America where Sri Akhilandeshwari resides.
home to deities crafted by master artisans in India, several under Sri Mathioli Saraswathy Amma’s guidance.
a growing campus that includes the Social Hall and Mathioli Sannidhi Meditation Center.
a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on tax-deductible donations from well wishers and donors.

Our Challenge

The temple requires $15,000 monthly to cover essential expenses:
- Priest salaries and housing
- Utilities and maintenance
- Ongoing upkeep of our incredible campus
For many years, these costs were shouldered by our founder, the late Dr. Anil Kumar. Since his passing, we urgently need temple devotees to step up and pledge your monthly support.

Why Your Sponsorship Matters

Volunteer service and personal offerings to priests remain vital, but alone they cannot sustain the temple. Your sponsorship ensures HTAV’s long-term health, allowing us to remain debt-free while keeping our doors open to all who seek blessings, peace, and community.

Our Goal

We invite you to help secure HTAV’s future by becoming a Stambha Sponsor, supporting the very pillars that uphold our temple, and ensuring our festivals and community gatherings continue to flourish. Our goal is to secure 150 Stambha Sponsors by Dec. 2026, totaling a $54,000 commitment.

Stambha Sponsorships cost just $1 a day, $30 per month, or $360 a year. Sign up today!
