Malibu Hindu Temple

The temple exuded such wonderful and serene vibes. We had a hassle-free darshan of Lord Balaji, which was truly a blessed experience. In addition to the main shrine, the temple also houses deities of other Hindu gods, adding to its spiritual charm. The food served at the temple was absolutely delightful. The tamarind rice stood out with its authentic flavor, and the masala tea was simply perfect.

Amazing vibe, amazing Malibu -PCH view while driving to the temple. Great location. Not all weekends crowded. Both temples- main and palani both gives great vibes. Temple Restaurant is good. Food items are light and clean food. Ordered puri and chai it was super cool. Service is good. You don’t have to buy tickets to visit the temple, it very much open to anyone. Usually people other than Indians not aware of the tradition. So usually you walk in to the temple bare foot no shoes. Great place to meditate.

The Malibu Hindu Temple, located in the scenic hills of Calabasas near Malibu, California, is a stunning example of South Indian architecture. Surrounded by picturesque mountain views, it offers a serene atmosphere perfect for reflection and spiritual connection. The temple features intricately carved sanctums dedicated to deities like Lord Venkateswara, with authentic rituals performed by priests. Well-maintained grounds and frequent cultural events make it a peaceful retreat and a vibrant cultural hub. Easily accessible from Pacific Coast Highway and the 101 Freeway, it’s a must-visit for those seeking tranquility or architectural beauty. Unfortunately, the café opens only at 10:30 and we were there at 9 AM so we missed out on all the south Indian fare.

Malibu Hindu Temple is a serene oasis that transports visitors to a sacred space with its stunning South Indian architecture and peaceful ambiance. The ornate shrines, melodious chanting, and welcoming atmosphere create a spiritually uplifting experience. It's a must-visit gem for those seeking tranquility and a glimpse into Hindu traditions.

I visited the temple, lot of parking space available. Its free parking, free entry. There was abhishekam going on when i entered, you should see it live, its very pleasant and calm, temple surrounded by mountains makes it very special. You can do archana as well which is around 20$. Vechicle pooja is also done here. There were no dustbins inside temple so make sure you get enough paper napkins and water with you. They offered nice prasadam, it was very tasty Either go early for abhishekam before 10:30 , or go late after 11:30 , thats when the curtains got opened. The moment where they opened the curtains for darshan at 11:45 made me feel like i was in Tirupati, its a great feeling. Must visit this temple when you are in or near LA

I recently visited the temple in Malibu and was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere. It took me about 45min drive from LA. The option for Archanai ranging from $5 to $35 allowed for a personalized experience. However, the additional cost for food at the food corner was a bit unexpected, similar to a restaurant setup, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. I look forward to returning for prayers and further exploring this beautiful temple. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and spiritual retreat. 🛕🙏🏽

The Malibu Hindu Temple is truly a wonderful place to visit. It offers a peaceful atmosphere, nestled amidst beautiful mountains, which adds to its natural beauty. During my visit, I was impressed by the volunteers in the temple, who contributed to the welcoming environment. The priests at the temple are well-respected and renowned for their expertise. Additionally, the food served at the temple canteen was exceptional, and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Especially the dosa and chat items really wonderful. Overall, the experience was fulfilling and brought me a sense of peace and happiness. Make sure visit the place don’t miss the food when you visit the temple. Thank you

Hindu divine place on the hills of Malibu! You’ll find most of the God & Goddess. Still some of the deities mandir is under construction. There is also a canteen where we can purchase food & prasad. I believe canteen might be on weekends only. Long drive for folks living in LA but worth the drive :)
