What this is
TheTempleAtlas is a free directory of temples in the United States, organised by state and city. Every listing has an address; most have a phone number, and where a business publishes its hours or services we show those too. Listings come from open data and from the businesses themselves, who can correct their card at any time — about the directory. Nothing on the lists is paid placement.
Pick a state above, or use the “near me” button to jump to the temples closest to you. City pages show the full list with a map; state pages collect smaller towns that have a single temple.

Common questions
Can visitors who are not Hindu, Buddhist or Sikh enter a temple?
Generally yes. Most Hindu temples, Buddhist temples and Sikh gurdwaras welcome visitors of any background. Dress modestly, follow the guidance posted at the entrance, and ask if you are unsure about a custom.
What should I wear to a temple?
Modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is a safe choice for all three traditions. You will usually be asked to remove your shoes, and a gurdwara asks everyone to cover their head; head coverings are normally available at the door.
Are there set hours for visiting?
Yes, but they vary widely. Many temples open early in the morning and again in the evening, with a break in between, and festival days often have special schedules. Check the website or call before you go.
Is photography allowed inside?
Rules differ by temple and by area. Photography may be limited near shrines, images of deities or the main prayer hall, so look for posted signs or ask first.
Do I need to bring anything or pay to visit?
Entry is normally free. Offerings and donations are optional, and some temples sell flowers or prasad (blessed food) for offerings. A gurdwara usually serves a free vegetarian meal called langar.
