Originally established as a nonprofit in 2000, the Maha Ganapati Temple of Arizona is the state's largest Hindu temple. Built in true Agamic traditions, the structure houses shrines to nearly a dozen presiding deities as well as interior and exterior sculptures, including its four richly decorated vimanas (towers). Additionally, the temple is part of Harvard University Pluralism Project, a project dedicated to cataloging all Religious bodies in the United States.

The temple hosts a variety of services, including daily pujas. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and U.S. national holidays, and from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays — both accessible through a visitor pass system.
