  This Murugan Temple is truly a peaceful and spiritual gem in the city. I visit mostly mostly weekends, and every time I step in, I feel an instant sense of calm and positivity. The atmosphere is so serene, and the soft, beautiful bhajans playing in the background make the experience even more special. It’s not just a place of worship… it’s a place where you can pause, reflect, and find inner peace. The temple is very clean, well-maintained, and the overall vibe is incredibly soothing. I always leave feeling lighter and more grounded. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a quiet, spiritual escape in Montreal.

  This is a very beautiful temple 🛕 . We arrived at 10 am and spent around 3 hrs . It was a special occasion of the two weeks festival (started on August 4th), we visited on Aug 5th. It was a divinely experience 😀. The prayers, chanting mantras, and Dhol, sounds of other instruments were amazingly great. Praise for the devotees and priests. They were very polite. Prasadam was served after the Pooja. It was excellent to have such a wonderful time at the temple. Jai shri Ganesha, Jai shri Kartiken . Om Namah Shivay 🕉 Hari Om 🕉 .

  Beautiful temple of Lord Murugan along with the statues of lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. You will experience peace in yourself. When we visited it was special occasion in the temple so enjoyed the melodies of South Indian music and mantra and pooja. Don’t forget to wear Indian Attire or wear full clothes whenever you are going to temple. Don’t wear shorts or short dress when visiting this temple. Overall you will love and enjoy.

  Lovely temple. The Dravidian architecture is mesmerizing. Entry is always a little confusing. So many times we have turned away thinking it was closed but rather there's a rear entry which we didn't know about. It should be specified on the entry gates.

  I recently visited the Murugan Temple with my family, and it was a beautiful experience. The temple itself is incredibly peaceful, with an atmosphere that invites calm and reflection. We performed a special pooja for our brand-new vehicle, which made the visit even more meaningful. The temple staff were very cooperative, guiding us through the rituals with care and patience. It was also a great opportunity to meet new people, as the community there was warm and welcoming. Overall, the visit was not just spiritually fulfilling but also a chance to connect with others.

  Very beautiful temple. Spacious and very nicely constructed. Multiple deities are present. Must visit for every Hindu. It is right in front of the bus stop. Bus frequency is every 25min.

  I haven’t gotten the chance to visit inside but people said that it was great inside and my friends went and they had good and peaceful time. It opens at 5pm and closes at 8:30pm in the night. Parking is sufficient and full!

  The Montreal Murugan Temple, located in Quebec, is a significant Saivite temple and a key cultural hub for the Tamil Hindu community in Canada. Established in 1983, it is the first of its kind in the province. The temple features a central shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan, flanked by sanctums for Lord Ganesha and Lord Venkateswara. It is renowned for its vibrant festivals and rituals that attract devotees from diverse backgrounds. The annual Chariot Festival (Ther Thiruvizha) is a major highlight, celebrated with great pomp. Thousands of devotees gather to participate in the processions, which feature traditional music, elaborate decorations, and devotional offerings. The event includes a flag-hoisting ceremony and multi-day festivities culminating in the grand chariot pull. The celebrations reflect Tamil cultural heritage and bring together the wider Montreal community for spiritual and cultural enrichment.
