I read the other review and was shocked because my experience was very different. Yes, the temple is clean and open for business but polite and open the priest was not! I would say people from other faiths sure don't feel welcome when it's only the priest present. The current temple priest who performed my wedding (I married an Hindu) was RUDE, Rude, rude (had I known this was how it was going to go down I would have used the priest from Bharatiya Ekta Mandir of Arizona). Sadly we only met in-person (my fiance had several phone conversations the months leading up to out wedding) with the priest the week before our wedding and it was perfectly obvious that he disliked me and my lack of Hindi. I attempted to ask question to better understand the ceremony but that just got me scowls and grumbles. The day of our wedding the priest was not ready and was acting as if he had forgotten about the ceremony and/or the deposit we made. Finally, after the ceremony when it was time to sign the marriage certificate he asked (actually demanded) an additional $300 to sign the certificate. Of course we agreed- what were we to do? I am pretty sure that would be called extortion and why hadn't he simply told us before the ceremony? I am guessing because he is a thief!
