Jai Durga Hindu Society, Scarborough

The Durga temple was very spacious. There were many programs and opportunities to join the temple community. Overall I had a nice and peaceful experience.

This place is a must visit. The temple holds many events. The main deity is goddess Durga but as is vase with other temples there are other dieties installed. We appreciate the activities carried out regularly in there including poojas during various festivals.

This place is so big, peaceful and magical, loved being there. The prasadam is always so yummy. They have separate room for jackets and shoes and you can wash your hands there only.

Best Hindu temple in Scarborough and east Toronto, Canada. Lots of parking, neat and clean, best pundit Damodar Ji, lots of space for small and large family functions. Great place to meditate and seek Krishna's blessings! Jai Bharat! Vande Matram!

Unprofessional and do not recommend. We attended a funeral here and was deeply offended for the grieving parents. Temple workers were taking phones calls during the service and/or letting it ring during the service.
Ceremony items were kept in bags and were unorganized. The grieving family were rudely corrected during a service they've never done before.

All issues could have been avoided if the temple cared, communicated, and were organized.

I do not recommend. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

This temple is literally the worst, I went to a puja and the pundits phone rang TWICE. AND he was coughing up a storm, even the senior pundits were talking WHILE the puja was going on. Absoloutely disgraceful, there are much better temples to go to. Also he yelled 'SHOES OFF' as we entered the temple, like he could have been way more polite about it.

Guess thats why the temple was empty, I wouldn't go here in a million years again.

This place is terrible. I was here for a funeral prayer, and the pundits phone rang, TWICE. Other priests also were talking while the prayer was going on. Poorly organized prayer and all the priests here are extremely disrespectful. Go to any other temple than this one.

I have been coming to Jai Durga since it was built. I will never go again. I was there for a puja for a deceased person and the pandits cell phone rang TWICE during the puja, and he was in no rush to silence it! ABSURD. He also was coughing next to the elderly parents who were grieving with no regard for COVID. He also yawned MULTIPLE times while reciting the prayer, and even FORGOT what he was supposed to say.

I brought this up to the main pandit and he responded with 'I will tell him', what do you mean tell him? Why don't YOU tell him that it was not right!? What can I expect when he himself was talking in the main room while the puja was going on using his airpods, absoloutely disgraceful, I will never come back here and will let EVERYONE I know to not come here as well.

I will make the trek to Hare Krishna in toronto or ANYWHERE else thats not this crooked temple. THEN I also saw the pandit asking for more money from the grieving parents after they paid, UNREAL.

Pandit ji at the temple were very informative and did poojan for our new car in very organized way

A peaceful and religious place where you will find idols of all Hindu gods. You will feel like you are present in India.
