In the early 80s, Hindus in Orlando met at the Lutheran church of Orlando. As the diaspora grew, the need for a temple became imperative and in the year 1982, the idea for Hindu Temple Society of Greater Orlando was conceived and on June 30, 1987 Hindu Society of Central Florida, Inc. was incorporated as a Florida Not for Profit corporation. By-Laws and constitution were adopted when the first General Body met.

Subsequently, 10 acres of land was acquired in Casselberry where the present HSCF temple was built.

Gradually the property was developed and a community hall was constructed in 1992. Sri. Ganesh idol was installed the same year. In the following years, Idols of Ram Parivar and Durga Mata were installed.

As the number of devotees and demand for Poojas and other services increased, 2 priests were hired from India. Adjacent land was purchased to house the Priests..

The Idol of Sri Balaji was installed with a huge celebration in 1999 and in the year 2000, the General Body adopted a resolution to build a Vedic temple with deities of Sri. Ganesh, Sri. Durga mata, Sri. Balaji, Sri Radha Krishna and Sri Rama parivar.

In March, 2001, a conceptual drawing for the new temple was prepared and presented by the eminent temple architect, Padmasree Muthiah Sthapathi in consultation with American architects Mr. Kishore Pathare and Mr.Subhash Nadkarni. In the month of August, in the same year, Sri Vighneswara pooja was performed at the site marking the commencement of the construction of the new temple.

In June 2002, the Pattisappu family donated 2.5 acres of land to the Society and in the following month, Sri Sugunendra Theertha Swamiji performed bhoomi pooja and ground breaking ceremony. 18 Artisans from India, under the supervision of Muthiah Sthapathi completed the ornamentation work. The General Body approved the installation of Navagraha and Sri. Siva Linga in the new temple.

The “Maha Kshetra” was consecrated on June 19, 2005 in the presence of thousands of devotees thus fulfilling the dream of all Hindus devotees in Central Florida.
