History:
The Angrabadi Temple was established by the late Sri Shankaracharya Swami Swarupananda Saraswati. The temple was constructed in 1954. It was built with the intention of providing a single place where devotees could worship various Hindu gods and goddesses. Before its construction, the area was a dense forest. Swami Swarupananda Saraswati envisioned a place of peace and spiritual significance. Over the years, the temple has grown in popularity and has undergone several renovations and expansions to accommodate the increasing number of visitors. It stands as a testament to the Swami's vision and the enduring faith of the local community. The temple continues to be managed by a trust dedicated to preserving its sanctity and promoting religious harmony.
