History and Mission
Shri Ram Mandir was established on January 1st, 2009 to meet the religious needs of the Indian Community in North Dallas and Collin counties in Texas. Murti Sthapanas were completed in three phases, the last one in October 2009 with sthapna of Shri Ram durbar.
The Mission of Shri Ram Mandir is to provide a place of worship for all Hindus, to promote and practice the ideals of Hinduism through worship, social service, and education. We’re accomplishing this through religious/cultural discourses, Gurukul teachings for the young children, yog exercises program for adults, and health fairs at the Mandir.

bhajans at the Mandir on various occassions.
Naitik shiksha (Moral

story and lesson learned
Based on the time of
the year, we cover one Hindu festival, details of the significance and why we
celebrate this festival. We also cover shloks and meaning and recital of the
shlok in this section
