Mandir is now located at 1732 Reynolds Avenue, Irvine between Gillette & Armstrong and Alton & McArthur near Orange County Airport since May 1, 2011.

Please Click on this Link For "The Hindu" Newspaper Article About Our Bharatnatyam Dance Teacher Charulatha and The Hindu's comment on our Mandir:

"The ‘Mandir' where Charulatha teaches is a virtual melting pot of cultures, with students hailing from various parts of India. “It is more than a dance class. It is the place where students meet other Indian kids, bond and rediscover culture. Learning Bharatanatyam is their way of keeping in touch with their roots.”
