Gita Bhavan was only a vision seen by just a few foresighted Hindus. The Hindu cultural society started with five families in 1987. The present site was bought in 1987. Gita Bhavan is not only a place for worship of the divine deities but it has become a centre of cultural and religious activities. It has created a sense of dignity amongst the Hindu population.

Temple History

It is a great pleasure for us to extend our sincere thanks and congratulate all the members of Hindu community who have contributed their efforts and money for the completion of the beautiful temple. Building a temple is paradigmatic and ethical act. It is believed to be equivalent of offering sacrifice - an act which makes one truly pious. The Hindu community of Manchester has performed this pious act by building the temple under the guidance of the three trustees of Gita Bhavan Hindu Temple

The population of Hindu community has increased during the last decade and it was felt that there was a great need of a community hall and a worshipping place. So that the young generation should understand its cultural and religious background. Gita Bhavan was only a vision seen by just a few foresighted Hindus. The Hindu cultural society started with five families in 1987, meeting once a month in a church hall. The present site was bought in 1987, the vendor sold it with the impression that a part of the property had to be demolished fro it was infected with dry rot, the broken windows and leaking roof. Manchester city council helped us to restore the building to its present standard with a substantial grant. The whole Hindu community of Manchester is highly indebted to the council for its kind gesture. A lots of alternations where made to hall to make it into a temple.
The assistance and aid given by many has turned that vision in to a reality. The temple has been built by very practical people for very practical purposes.

Deities..

Within Hinduism a large number of personalities, or 'forms', are worshipped as murtis. These beings are either aspects of the supreme Brahman, avatars of the supreme being, or significantly powerful entities known as devas. The exact nature of belief in regards to each deity varies between differing Hindu denominations and philosophies. Often these beings are depicted in humanoid, or partially-humanoid forms, complete with a set of unique and complex iconography in each case. In total, there are 33,00,00,000 (33 crore or 330 million) of these supernatural beings in various Hindu traditions.
