The Sri Rajarajeswari temple located in Rochester NY is situated on 23 acres of rolling verdant grounds that are dotted with various outdoor shrines devoted to Lord Ganesha, Lord Bhairavar and Lord Shiva in the form of the Shiva lingam. The temple has a beautiful deity of Sri Rajarajeswari installed as the main deity surrounded by other deities typical to a Saivite temple such as an exquisite Lord Nadaraja with his consort Sivakamasundari and beautifully detailed deity of the nine planets.The temple is relatively unique to North America, performances as it does as a teaching temple where instruction in the Sanatana Dharma rituals, according to the Sri Vidya tradition, is taught freely to all those who are interested regardless of caste or creed.
Another unique feature of this temple is the opportunity for devotees to touch the deities as part of their worship as well as personally perform the abishekam usually each Saturday and on festival days.
