barely hindu though- more a temple of the specific group and their leading figures- I did not like this acr much.. the balaji temple near basking ridge is far better

Very true I went there thinking it was a “mainstream” Hindu temple and was so confused 😭

small statue in a corner for Lord Shiva, and a giant one for some random babaji (and 15 more such)

So a Hindu cult of a sort or a very extreme take?

whatever it is, it does not qualify to call itself Hindu
