Landscape

Landscaping the Temple Premises

The Hindu Temple in Champaign County sits on five acres of cleared farmland.  This was a flat, treeless landscape exposed to the strong wind currents and snowdrifts in winter and the mercilessly hot sun in the summer. Initially rows of evergreens at the edges of the lot on the north, south, and west were planted in 2012. The landscape is taking shape as more trees and shrubs are planted each year with generous help of donors and volunteers.  

In the last decade, 200 evergreens and flowering trees have been planted on all sides, at the entry and along the parikrama path, giving the feel of a sacred grove. 

Please contact Mahesh Gubba (cell no. 217-220-0297; email: gubbam@hotmail.com) if you would like to sponsor temple landscape development.
