Ram Dongre★★★★★The temple is quiet and peaceful and is adorned by many deities. The idol of main deity is absolutely beautiful. The architecture is Tamil style with ornate carvings and vivid colors and is well maintained. Parking is available around the temple and curbside too. There is a standalone building which has restrooms and other amenities. They did serve prasad the day we visited. I recommend the temple to all and do visit to take blessing at the feet or Lord Muruga🙏

Jay S★★★★★If you ever wondered what would happen if a slice of Tamil Nadu got air-dropped into suburban Concord — this is it. The new Shiva Murugan Temple looks like it was designed by Vishwakarma himself after drinking three filter coffees and deciding to outdo every other temple in California. The architecture? Unreal. The colorful gopuram doesn’t just stand tall — it practically poses for photos. Forget the usual white-washed temples you see across the U.S.; this one bursts with vibrant reds, blues, greens, and golds like it’s auditioning for “Best Dressed Temple of the Year.” Every carving, every sculpture screams “crafted with love and a tiny chisel.” Inside, the vibe is pure serenity — light pouring through big windows, deities gleaming in their royal outfits, and priests who manage to be both deeply spiritual and impressively patient with people like me asking, “Wait, is that Nataraja or Murugan again?” The chants echo beautifully through the new hall, and the atmosphere somehow balances devotion and architectural flexing perfectly. The volunteers? Efficient and genuinely kind — it’s like the Apple Store of temples, but with incense. The prasadam is divine (literally), and the whole place is spotless — clearly run with care and pride. Parking is decent unless there’s a big festival, in which case consider it your penance for the day. Totally worth the walk. In short: 10/10 would recommend. A must-visit even if you’re not religious — go for the colors, stay for the peace, and maybe leave wondering if your house could use a mini gopuram too.

DG guru★★★★★A Cherished Sanctuary I have been visiting this temple for over a decade, and it has been a joy to witness its evolution. The recent completion of the temple's construction and the inauguration of the new space have made the atmosphere even more inviting. The intricate carvings on the building are stunning, adding a beautiful touch to the site. Temple serves as a peaceful refuge where I enjoy attending spiritual festivals and ceremonies. The sense of community is strong, and I would love to volunteer in the near future. This temple is a cherished sanctuary that continuously nurtures its community. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a spiritual experience!
