In Wisconsin, a village of 15,000 in Milwaukee's far-west suburbs, is home to four Dharmic temples, an anomaly in a state rarely recognized for its South Asian immigrant population.
Tucked away on a hill beyond a vast commercial landscape are the first two Dharmic temples to exist in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin.
The midwest offered the members of the four temples what it has offered any immigrant: space to call their own. To cater to the nearly 1,000 Wisconsinites who attend the Pewaukee Hindu temple, the building was built to accommodate what Geddam calls an"arcade" of deities — a collection of marble statues depicting the many manifestations of God that Hindus worship, Krishna, Shiva and Ganesh being just the most widely recognized of dozens of forms of the divine known as deities or gods.
The location, now the Wisconsin Shirdi Sai, has the feeling of visiting Baba's home temple in Shirdi, India, say its new owners, who claim on their website that it was selected by their founder, Sai Baba himself.
