Welcome to the Shiv Mandir! Established by the Niagara Hindu Samaj in August 1999 in response to community needs, the Shiv Mandir (temple) is a multi-faceted facility. Its mission is to assist individuals to realize their fullest spiritual potential in accordance with the age-old traditions of Sanatan Dharma or the “Eternal Religion”, as Hinduism is more appropriately called. Although it is located quite close to the excitement and bustle of Niagara Falls, the Shiv Mandir is virtually a haven of peace, spirituality and the community spirit.

The Shiv Mandir is home to Lord Shiva as well as a wide range of deities sacred to the Hindu and Jain traditions.  The deities have all been consecrated through their respective Pran Pratishtha ceremonies. The latest deity to have been consecrated at the Shiv Mandir is Veer Hanumanji, the warrior form of Lord Hanuman, the Divine Devotee of Bhagwan Shri Ram.

Visitors to the Shiv Mandir tell us that what impresses them most about the Mandir is the sheer power of the divine vibrations they always experience every time they visit. The sensation cannot be described—only experienced firsthand! Visit the Shiv Mandir to experience this for yourself!
