Hindu Temple of Las Vegas or HTLV, is a Hindu temple located in Summerlin, Nevada.[1] It is one of two Hindu temples in the Las Vegas Valley. HTLV is targeted specifically for worshipers of Sanatana Dharma. HTLV also contains an area for Jains to worship at.[2]

History

In 1994, Hindus in the Las Vegas area banded together to create The Hindu Society of Nevada. The land that would later become part of the Temple Campus was bought in 1997. In 2000, the Temple started construction and by April 2001, the Hindu Temple was finished.[3][4]
