Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple is a Hindu temple in Frisco, Texas. The temple was opened in 2015 by its founder, Hindu pontiff, Ganapathi Sachchidananda.[1]
History
Construction on the 34,000 square feet temple started in 2007 and completed its first phase in 2009, with the rest of the main temple in 2015.[2] The main deity of the Hindu temple is Hanuman. The temple is known for its spiritual atmosphere and is a place where devotees come to seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman for success and fulfillment of their wishes ("karya siddhi" translates to "fulfillment of desires"). The temple opened on July 23, 2015, and a week later, on August 1, the temple was the venue for a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous chanting with over 24 hours of recitation of Hanuman Chalisa.[3] The Chant was led by Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji.
