Me?

There are temples in my town, but none of that size or decor. The nearest ones, I believe, are 3 hours away in Atlanta. I don't have the money or time (full-time student and part-time worker) to visit them at the moment. However, I'm certainly planning on doing so soon.

The 'double' one in Atlanta will be my recommendation. Same land, same society, but two temples. It's the proper more Agamic way to do things. One for the Vaishnavites, one for the Shaivites. Then when you go inside, you know who is God, and it's far less confusing for both. But that's just my take. https://www.hindutempleofatlanta.org/

That is honestly one of the most amazing things I've seen in quite some time. Very neat. I love the idea of a double temple on the same land. wow! :run:

And for my part I would love to visit a tiny temple dedicated to one or two deities.

It would certainly avoid running across the temple floor from one puja to another, or attending one and looking over to see what's going on at the next sanctum, as I've seen some people do. I've sometimes wondered if the temple building would list like a ship when all the passenger's run from one side to the other to see the sights (I know there is little to no hope for me ).

I don't know if that's such a good idea! You forget with whom you are speaking. :biglaugh:

No, really that would be cool.
