WHAT: The Sri Venkateswara Temple of North Carolina is hosting a VIP orientation and tour of political and religious dignitaries to recognize the community partnerships which have developed in the growth of the Indian-American community in North Carolina as well as the grand opening of the magnificent SV Temple worship space in Cary. Government leaders will participate in a brief presentation and tour of the Temple on the 27th, to be followed by an auspicious consecration event on the 28th featuring Hindu leaders atop the Temple roof performing religious ceremonies and a helicopter spreading rose petals.

WHO: Governor Bev Perdue

Over 10,000 devotees are expected to attend grand opening and consecration ceremonies in late May.
