It was on June 22, 1986, that members of our community gathered in a vacant piece of land by the side of Georgia State Route 85 in Riverdale to perform the Ground Breaking Ceremony for the Hindu Temple of Atlanta. Almost three years later, to be precise, in March 1989, after assurances and pledges were received to fund the project, the actual construction of the structure began. The first phase of construction, carried out by the Holstein company and the Choate construction company, took about twenty one months.
