The Hindu Society of Minnesota began constructing the temple, which came with a $9.5 million price tag, five years ago, and worshipers have been able to use it since 2006. But it was not considered complete until this weekend, when its 65-foot tower was consecrated.
When building began, the society’s database consisted of 1,000 families. Now the group claims 4,000 families, but it is also $6.5 million in debt.
