The Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago, located in Lemont, IL, has been a leading force for over three decades, promoting traditional Indian religious and cultural values in the US. The temple, featuring Sri Rama and Ganesh-Shiva-Durga temples, now includes the Vivekananda Spiritual Center and a Vivekananda Statue, marking the first installation of Swamiji's statue in a public place in the United States. This significant addition has solidified HTGC as a central hub for religious, spiritual, and cultural activities, attracting thousands from the Midwest states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa.
