Indian American Cultural Center opened on March 9, 2002, Merrillville, Northwest Indiana. It was in 2010 on June 18 that the temple was finalized and opened, Bharatiya Temple of Northwest Indiana. This temple is adjacent to the Cultural Center. The Bharatiya Temple is very different compared to some Hindu temples in the United States, because there are four different Hindu groups as while as the Jains. In the native way for Hinduism, one would never see different sectarian groups worship in one temple. This is why The Bharatiya Temple is very different because they provide diversity to all who attend.
