aboutus

Sri Selva Vinayagar Temple was started in 2004 by the Late Mr Selvarajah. He wanted to ensure that there was a Temple in the borough where he lived so that he, along with the thousands of Hindu devotees living here could go to a Temple close to home. 

​

Since 2004, the Temple has steadily grown, inviting a wide range of Hindu devotees who attend prayers on a daily basis. 

​

Following the completion of 12 years, the Renovation Project was started on a grand scale, with stones arriving from India. Having now neared the completion of this project, the Temple looks forward to returning the God's to their former homes in new shrines. 

​

We invite all devotees to offer their prayers at the Temple and take the blessings of Pillayaar.

Due to Covid Lockdown the temple is temporarily closed to the public until further notice All Pooja's and Abishegams will be continued to be conducted by priests. Devotees wishing to book can do so by calling the temple. These can be viewed virtually via our Facebook page.
