Lord Ayappan & more.
Big space inside. It's a nice temple
A Hindu Tamil temple in Scarborough near Eglington Square. The temple was ultra quiet and peaceful in the evening when visited which was a good time to make circumambulations of the deities and pray. The dieties include Lord Shiva, Parvathi, Murugan, Vinayaka, Anjaneya. Such a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were helpful. There is drinking water within the temple.
I really like going to Canada Kandasamy Temple. It’s a peaceful and welcoming place where you can feel calm and connected. The temple is dedicated to Lord Murugan, and every time I visit, I feel his blessings and good energy. The atmosphere is very nice, and it helps me clear my mind and feel at peace.nnThe Iyer, priest, and Kurukkal are all very kind and respectful. They take their time during the Poojas and explain things if you ask. You can tell they care about the temple and the people who come there. They are always smiling and make you feel comfortable.nnAnother great thing about the temple is that they have a banquet hall. You can book it out for weddings, birthday parties, small gatherings, or other family events. It’s a good space if you want to celebrate something in a spiritual and cultural setting.nnOverall, this temple is not just a place of worship—it’s a place where you can feel at home and spiritually connected. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to pray to Lord Murugan or just wants to be in a peaceful and friendly environment.
