There are 50,000 Hindus from across the Midwest who visit the Maple Grove temple regularly. During the anniversary weekend, as many as 2,000 people are expected. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is also expected to visit.
Besides the anniversary of the temple, there will be an inauguration of the Gundicha Mandir, a smaller temple on the property.
