Bengaluru India Temple

The Bengaluru India Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under construction in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. It will be the church's first temple in India. The intent to construct the temple was announced on April 1, 2018, by church president Russell M. Nelson during general conference. Located on a 1.62-acre site in the Whitefield area of Bengaluru, the temple complex will include the 38,670-square-foot temple, a two-level meetinghouse, administrative offices, a distribution center, and housing for patron use. The rendering depicts a white structure with tall arched windows and five spires, centered around a taller main spire. Ground was broken for the temple on December 2, 2020, with area seventy Robert K. William presiding. Attendance was limited due to COVID-19 restrictions. As of 2025, construction continues, with open house and dedication dates yet to be announced. When completed, it is expected to serve nearly 15,000 church members across India, reducing the need for members to travel abroad to attend temple worship.
