Edmonton's main Hindu temples are the Edmonton Mandir of the Bhartiya Cultural Society on 39 Avenue, ISKCON and the BAPS mandir on the south side, the Ayyappa temple and the Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, with the Nanaksar and Sri Guru Nanak gurdwaras. The Edmonton metro area has 123,335 South Asians, 9% of its people, including 66,995 of Indian origin (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Profile). Below: each place checked on its own website, two temples' published wedding fees, Diwali 2026 and the Alberta marriage licence.
Listing a temple, gurdwara or organisation here does not mean it is a partner of, or endorses, NRI Hearts. Times change, especially around festivals: check with the place itself before you go.
