—
In the heart of Georgetown, Texas, Austin stands a new symbol of faith and tradition—Hari Hara Kshethram, a spiritual sanctuary that brings the ancient essence of Sanatan Dharma into the modern world. Established in 2024, this temple has quickly become a focal point for the growing Hindu community in Texas and beyond. Devotees from all walks of life are welcomed to experience the divine presence of Lord Venkateshwara, Lord Shiva, Lord Ayyappa, and Lord Vigneshwara (Ganesha) in an atmosphere that radiates devotion, peace, and unity.
A Sanctuary for All
Hari Hara Kshethram is more than just a place of worship; it is a spiritual home where people of all backgrounds and beliefs can find solace and connection. Whether it is through daily worship, Vedic rituals, or festive celebrations, the temple offers a space where the sacred traditions of Hinduism are preserved and shared with the wider community. The guiding mission of the temple is to promote unity, offering a welcoming environment where all are invited to participate, regardless of caste, creed, or social standing.
In the heart of Georgetown, Texas, Hari Hara Kshethram has quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant spiritual and cultural centers in the region. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Kakkireni Bharath Kumar, Chairman and CEO of KBK Group, the temple blends ancient Hindu traditions with modern life, offering devotees a sanctuary where they can connect with their spiritual roots while fostering a strong sense of community. “We wanted to establish a place where individuals could experience the timeless beauty of Hindu rituals and traditions while feeling a strong sense of belonging,” says Dr. Kakkireni, whose vision has resonated deeply with the local Hindu community.
What sets Hari Hara Kshethram apart is its dedicated core team, a group of passionate individuals who have worked tirelessly to shape the temple into a thriving hub of spirituality and culture. Visionaries like Dilip Reddy Bandela, Pradeep Reddy Yasam, Pranay Teja Tadakamalla, Kiran Kumar Kakkireni, Purna Koppula, and Jaya Vyshnavi Koppisetty have played key roles, alongside committed leaders such as Anvitha Reddy Sarasani, Chakrapani Reddy Chitla, Upender, Nava Teja Munnaluri, Roopa Palwai, Balakrishna Devasani, Monica Dasa, Maneesh, and Vidya Sagar Reddy. Together, they have helped the temple grow into a spiritual hub for the Hindu community, offering a unique blend of religious devotion and cultural enrichment.
One of the key highlights of the temple's calendar is the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. This year, the temple distributed eco-friendly Ganesh idols to devotees, symbolizing their commitment to both spirituality and environmental responsibility. This event, along with the ongoing Navaratri festival, has attracted hundreds of devotees to the temple. Each day of Navaratri is marked by elaborate rituals, such as the Chandi Homam and Saraswati Pooja, alongside vibrant cultural activities like Garba dances, singing competitions, and fancy dress contests that bring Hindu mythology to life.
Hari Hara Kshethram has rapidly become a focal point for Hindu celebrations in the region, thanks to the dedication of its leadership and the unwavering support of the local community. As it continues to grow, the temple is not only a place of worship but a center for cultural exchange and spiritual growth, welcoming all who seek to connect with the divine.
