Question

Are there any rules of etiquette at the Hindu Temple?

Answer

It is preferred that dresses and skirts be below the knee (but if this is not possible, you will not be turned away, don't worry). Shorts are not allowed.

Question

Where can I park for the Hindu Ceremony?

Answer

The temple has a parking facility (although with very limited parking) on Smart Street, opposite to the Community Center. Parking here is free. Street parking is available in all streets around the temple. You may also park your car just a block away at CENTRAL PARKING SYSTEM, next to Flushing Hospital on 45th Avenue. (Entrance via Burling Street.) Parking fee at this location is $7 per car if the stub is validated by the Temple counter or Community Center office (via Ganesh Temple website).

Question

I can’t come at 8am. Can I arrive later in the morning?

Answer

If you cannot make it by 8, you will miss the groom’s arrival (Baraat). However, the main event is between 10:30am-1pm. Please make all efforts to arrive by 10AM. It is totally fine to trickle in at any time throughout the event, and it is ok to leave early if you must.
