Sri Ganesha Temple is a Hindu temple in Alaska. Opened in 1999, it is the first Hindu temple in Alaska. Its main deity is Ganesha. The temple also houses sacred images of Durga and Rama.
In 1995, a group of local Hindus began informally worshipping together in downtown Anchorage. American Hindu leader Sivaya Subramuniyaswamy donated a Ganesha idol to the group, and on June 25, 1999, he formally inaugurated the Sri Ganesha Mandir in a rented space at the Anchorage Church of Religious Science. During the inauguration ceremony, local spiritual leaders and elders blessed the congregation with songs, mantras, and drumming. Hindu pilgrims also attended the event.
In 2002, the temple moved to a temporary location on Blueberry Road. With donations from the local Hindu community and local architect Jerry Neiser, a property on Raspberry Road was purchased in 2003 and made it the temple's permanent home. The property was renovated, and several idols were installed. The temple was moved to its new location and opened in 2011.
