Hindu Temple of Florida - Tampa, FL - Hindu Temples on Waymarking.com

From a 2005 news article about the Temple (visit link): "The inside of the 14,573-square-foot temple is not overly opulent, with wide open carpeted flooring and no chairs, as Hindus sit on the floor during services. In each corner, and in the center front, however, are recesses that contain deities. The gods are carved in black granite or white marble and are elaborately adorned in brass, silver and fresh flowers."

"The outside walls of the temple have yet to be painted their final eggshell white, but the embellishments are profound. Through a process dubbed Indianization, sculptors, also called shilpis, have converted the masonry structure into an ornately sculptured traditional Hindu temple."

The Rajagopuram (Raja meaning king, Gopuram meaning gateway in Hindi, the language of India) mentioned in the news article has been completed and serves as the entrance to the Hindu Temple of Florida.
