LADSON, SOUTH CAROLINA, October 25, 2009: The Hindu Temple of Charleston, in Ladson’s College Park Center, opened its doors to an eager community last week. The October 18 ceremony, its inaugural worship session, drew more than 300 people who assembled inside.The temple has been the aspiration of the local Indian community, about 400 families strong, for four years. A committee was formed in 2006 to devise the plans and develop the project, according to Peyush Dwivedi, temple secretary.
It’s the first Hindu temple in the Lowcountry and the fourth in the state. Columbia, Spartanburg and Mauldin, which is near Greenville, each have a Hindu center.
