Membership in The Council

All the temples are invited to enroll as members of the Council.

The Council is defined by its Constitution as "a free Association of autonomous Hindu Temples formed for certain limited purposes of common benefit and mutual development."

The constitution defines Hindu temples as those "which are organized as traditional authentic temples with prayers and worship conducted in the Hindu tradition and managed by Boards of Trustees or Directors.

The Constitution also provides as follows:

"The membership will commence from the date of admission by the Council and on the applicant's payment of annual fees as determined by the Council periodically. Application for membership will be presented to the Council of Temples for decision at its formal sessions. Hindu associations and organizations (other than Temples) are eligible for Associate membership with full privileges but with no voting."

The application form printed on the other side of this page may be duly completed and returned along with a check made out to The Council of Hindu Temples for the appropriate amount of membership dues.

The completed application together with the check may be mailed to
