There are an estimated 60 major Hindu temples across US and scores of smaller ones. Many of the temples are multi-million dollar structures that have been designed and built by shilpis flown in from India. Large temples such as Chicago's Venkateshwara Temple, Pittsburg's Balaji Temple and Flushing, New York's Mahavallabha Ganapati Temple, Flushing are now part of the Indian-American pilgrim circuit.

Grander ones are being built all the time, especially by large well-funded organisations. Iskcon has embarked on a $61 Million Jagannath Cultural Project in Sedona, Arizona. In summer of 2007, a grand Swaminarayan temple in Atlanta was scheduled to be inaugurated by Pramukh Swami Maharaj, head of the Gujarat-based Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swami-narayan Sanstha (BAPS).
