History:
In 2012, Mr. Krishna Bhat conceived the idea of building Sri Satyanarayana Temple with the intent of establish a Hindu spiritual hub in the Northwest area of Houston. He generously donated about two acres of land to seed these efforts and the project was born. Sri Satyanarayana Temple of Greater Houston was incorporated in October 2013, a board of trustees and directors was established.

Temple received approval from County and other agencies and all the  permits are in place. The Temple construction started in March -2019 and was completed by 2020. First phase would be a hall which will be used as the initial temple until the traditional temple is built. The construction committee has completed a conceptual architecture diagram and a leading architect with extensive experience designing and building numerous temples, has volunteered with the first conceptual design.

The Bhoomi Puja/Ground breaking was conducted on November 2nd 2014. Currently temple is open every Sunday from 10:00 to 12:00. Sri Satyanarayana puja is conducted every month in a temporary space next to the designated temple site every month.


All the deities are procured from Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu, India. Pradista is planned for February 3 thru 5.
